Former Borussia Dortmund’s coach, Edin Terzic has left Borussia Dortmund.
According to a statement obtained from Sky Sports’ website, Terzic offered his resignation on Wednesday night despite a season which saw the club reach the Champions League final.
Terzic met with Borussia’s upper management on Thursday morning and left the meeting less than an hour through the club offices back entrance.
A statement from the club said Terzic asked Dortmund to terminate his contract, and the club have agreed to his request.
In a video post on X Terzic said, ‘It is incredibly painful for me to say this to all Black & Yellow fans, but today I am parting company with Borussia Dortmund.
‘It was a huge honour to win the DFB Cup with BVB and to lead this fantastic club to the Champions League final.
‘After the game at Wembley, I asked for a meeting with the club’s senior management team, because after ten years at BVB – including five on the coaching staff and two and a half as head coach – I feel that the club’s new era should begin with a new man on the touchline.
‘Everyone close to me knows that this has been a very difficult decision for me to take over the last few weeks, but after intensive discussions, my fundamental feeling has not changed. I wish Borussia Dortmund all the best, and this isn’t goodbye – we’ll see you soon!’
Terzic had two spells in charge of Dortmund, an interim one at the end of the 2020-21 season, before returning as permanent boss ahead of the 2022-23 season.
Speaking on the incident Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said,
“Edin Terzic has done an outstanding job in his time at BVB, and we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude. Edin and I will always remain friends.”
