La Liga club Athletic Club has officially confirmed an agreement for their next head coach. The tactician set to lead the Basque team into a new era is Edin Terzić.
The position of head coach at San Mamés has been a prominent topic in Spanish football headlines. This follows Athletic’s decision to part ways with long-serving manager Ernesto Valverde at the end of the season.
A multitude of managers were previously linked with replacing the Spaniard for the 2026/27 campaign. However, Edin Terzić, who has been without a club since leaving Borussia Dortmund in 2024, had long been considered the frontrunner.
Therefore, the official announcement of Terzić’s appointment in Bilbao came as little surprise. According to a statement released by Athletic Club across their website and social media platforms: “Edin Terzić has agreed to become head coach of Athletic Club’s men’s first team for the next two seasons, signing a contract until 30 June 2028.”

La Liga side Athletic Club officially announced on Tuesday that they have reached an agreement for the appointment of the club’s next head coach. The tactician slated to guide the Basques into a new era is Edin Terzić.
The subject of the bench at San Mamés has, of course, long been a prominent one in Spanish football headlines. This comes after Athletic announced their decision to part ways with long-time boss Ernesto Valverde upon the season’s close.
A whole host of managers were, in turn, tipped to replace the Spaniard for the 2026/27 campaign. Long standing out above all others, though, was the aforementioned Edin Terzić, who has been out of work since departing Borussia Dortmund back in 2024.
On Tuesday, it has therefore come as little surprise to hear of Terzić’s appointment in Bilbao being made official. As per a statement across the website and social media platforms of Athletic Club: “Edin Terzić has agreed to become head coach of Athletic Club’s men’s first team for the next two seasons, signing a contract until 30 June 2028.”
