Borussia Dortmund have confirmed the departure of Edin Terzic after the manager asked to be released from his contract.

Terzic, 41, has been with Dortmund in various roles since 2018, having also spent three years working in the youth setup before stints as an assistant to Slaven Bilic at both Besiktas and West Ham United between 2013 and 2017.

Most recently, he helped the Club reach the Champions League final, where they fell short to Real Madrid, but Terzic has now confirmed his journey with Dortmund will go no further.

“Dear Borussia fans, even though it is really hurting me right now, I would like to tell you that I will be leaving BVB today,” Terzic said in a statement. “It was a huge honour to be able to lead this great Club to a DFB Cup victory and most recently to a Champions League final.

“I asked those responsible for a meeting after our final at Wembley because after ten years at BVB, including five years on the coaching team and two and a half years as head coach, I feel that the upcoming new start should be accompanied by a new man on the sidelines.

“Everyone who knows me knows that during this decision-making process of the past few weeks, two hearts have been beating in my chest. But even after intensive discussions, my basic feeling has not changed. I always wish Borussia Dortmund only the very best and don’t say goodbye, but see you again.”
