If there is a high probability that Edin Terzic will be presented as the new coach of Borussia Dortmund in the coming days, BVB fans could expect a surprise. Because one of the 39-year-old’s assistants is said to be an assistant coach icon who has a past at FC Schalke 04.
After the separation from Marco Rose on Friday, Borussia Dortmund will promptly present a new coach for the 2022/23 season. According to consistent media reports, this will be an old acquaintance: Edin Terzic.
Hermann recently celebrated promotion with Schalke 04
So that the interim coach at the time, who followed the dismissed Lucien Favre at the end of 2020 and took his place until summer 2021, has the best possible support in his new role as permanent head coach, BVB wants to lure Peter Hermann to Dortmund, according to information from “Sky”.
The 70-year-old should bring all his experience in dealing with top stars to Borussia. And Hermann brings more than enough of this with him. Most recently, the cult assistant rose to the Bundesliga with FC Schalke 04. The Royal Blues, BVB’s great territorial rivals, had signed the veteran for the final phase of the season. Together with interim head coach Mike Büskens, the intended mission was achieved.
Previously, he worked as an assistant coach for Jupp Heynckes, celebrated great success in Munich and even won the treble in 2013.
In the meantime, the 70-year-old has said goodbye to Gelsenkirchen and could actually return to his original role as an assistant with the DFB U20.
But apparently Hermann is needed again in the Ruhr area. This time, however, at BVB.
In addition to Hermann, Terzic apparently wants to rely on his confidant and BVB U17 trainer Sebastian Geppert as an assistant again, as “Sky” further reports. Geppert had already supported Terzic in his interim role from the end of 2020 to the end of the season.
It is not yet known whether Hermann actually wants to join BVB. Just as little as the answer to the question of how Borussia fans would receive the 70-year-old because of his Bayern and Schalke past.
