The board of La Liga club Athletic Club has reached a contractual agreement with their next head coach.
This development confirms that Edin Terzić is set to take the managerial position in Bilbao.
It has been widely known for some time that Athletic Club would be seeking a new manager this summer.
Following Ernesto Valverde’s announcement that he would step down at the end of the season, club officials at San Mamés were tasked with finding a successor to guide the team into a new era.
Terzić emerged as the leading candidate for the role, despite having been without a managerial position since leaving Borussia Dortmund in 2024.
As previously indicated, Athletic appears to have secured their preferred candidate this week.
According to a report from journalist and European football insider Florian Plettenberg:
“Edin Terzić to Athletic Bilbao – a done deal. Terzić will be the new head coach next season. A full agreement has been reached with the 43-year-old former BVB manager. He will succeed Ernesto Valverde. The contract will run until 2028.”
