Edin Terzić has left his position as Borussia Dortmund coach despite leading the team in an improbable run to the Champions League final earlier this month.
“Dear Borussia players, although it hurts me a lot at the moment, I would like to inform you that as of today I will be leaving BVB,” Terzic said in a statement.
“It was a great honor to lead this great club to victory in the German Cup and, more recently, to the Champions League final.
“After our final at Wembley I asked to chat with those responsible, because after ten years at BVB, five of them as a coach and two and a half as a coach, I think that the new beginning that is coming should be accompanied by a new man in the sideline.”
Dortmund lost 2-0 to Real Madrid in the Champions League final on June 1, thanks to goals from Vinícius Júnior and Dani Carvajal.
Terzić, who took over on a permanent basis ahead of the 2022-23 season and has worked in various positions at the club since 2018, led the team to finish fifth in the Bundesliga in 2023-24 and qualify for next year's top flight. continental competition level.
In the previous campaign, Dortmund led the Bundesliga until the final day of the season, only to surrender the title to eternal rival Bayern Munich after an unexpected draw with Mainz.
