Bringing the fans back to BVB with passionate football is the clear task for the old and new BVB coach Edin Terzic. In order for this to succeed, the 39-year-old wants to form a sworn unit from the team. His most important approaches are presented in a report.

Terzic lives loyalty: Terzic is a native of Dortmund – according to information from “Sport Bild” he has already rejected offers from other clubs in the past due to his connection to the city and club. It is therefore a great story that he is now head coach again, says Terzic’s close friend and DFB youth coach Hannes Wolf to “Sport Bild”. Terzic comes from the region, he embodies identification that people long for.

Short, compact, clear

Honesty in dealing with the players: Terzic’s appearance is approachable. The 39-year-old coach is not much older than some players, which helps him in dealing with the team. In the group, Terzic relies on passion and a spirit of optimism, he prefers to criticize in individual discussions, reports “Sport Bild”. Honesty is particularly important to him.

Terzic embodies the hard-working mentality: in addition to loyalty and honesty, Terzic also stands out for his enthusiasm for work: “He is extremely hard-working. He started at BVB with half a job as a scout and half a job as an assistant coach in the U19s. But if you count the hours worked, that was actually two full jobs. He can handle a blatant workload – not just temporarily, but permanently,” says Wolf. So he himself exemplifies the labor mentality that Terzić demands from his players.
