In a move that's set to shake up La Liga, former Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic has signed on as the new head coach of Athletic Bilbao. The Spanish club confirmed the appointment on Tuesday, with Terzic putting pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at the helm until June 2028.

Terzic takes over from the departing Ernesto Valverde, who will leave at the end of the current season. It's a fresh chapter for the 41-year-old German tactician, who has been keeping busy as a TV pundit since leaving Dortmund.

Terzic's resume is nothing short of impressive. He first took charge of Borussia Dortmund in December 2020, leading them to a German Cup triumph in 2021 before stepping away. He returned for the 2022-23 season and guided the club to the Champions League final in 2024, where they fell to Real Madrid. That kind of big-stage experience could be exactly what Bilbao needs as they push for European glory.

But the immediate focus is on the here and now. "Currently, all focus is on the four crucial remaining matches," the club stated, as Bilbao still have a shot at qualifying for European competition this season. Terzic's official presentation will take place at the start of the new season, but fans can already dream of what his tactical nous and proven track record might bring to the iconic Basque side.
