In terms of sport, things haven’t been going too smoothly for BVB recently, and criticism of the sporting leadership is growing. Now a wild rumor is making the rounds about coach Edin Terzic and sports director Sebastian Kehl in Dortmund.
As a thoroughbred Borussian, Terzic enjoys a high reputation in the BVB environment. The Menden native has worked his way up the club step by step and has been head coach of the professional team since 2022.
However, since football development has stalled in the current season, calls for a new trainer are becoming louder.
According to “Bild”, the 41-year-old could actually lose his current position in the summer, but still remain with the black and yellow in another role.
An “explosive thought game” is to be discussed in Dortmund, according to which Terzic could take over the job from sports director Sebastian Kehl if he has to leave. In return, the way would be clear for a new coach.
BVB: Fresh inspiration from manager Terzic?
The relationship between Terzic and Kehl has been strained for some time, and both did not always agree on transfer issues. A problem that could be solved by the rumored moving of chairs.
Kehl is also popular with many fans as a former championship captain, but is no longer without controversy due to some personnel decisions. His purchasing policy last summer was widely questioned.
In the Bundesliga, the runner-up is clearly lagging behind expectations; after 14 match days they are only in fifth place in the table. The DFB Cup was also recently finished, and the team had no chance against VfB Stuttgart.
Only in the Champions League did Dortmund manage to convince over long stretches. In Group F of death with Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Newcastle United, the place in the round of 16 was bagged early.
It is unclear how concrete the plans for a transfer of Terzic to management are.
