Background
Terzic succeeded Ernesto Valverde and is tasked with leading Athletic Club, which disappointed last season with a 12th place in La Liga, back to the top. His focus is on evolution rather than revolution, with an emphasis on maintaining stability and increasing the club's competitiveness.
Why this matters
Edin Terzic's arrival as head coach of Athletic Club marks an important phase for the club as it looks to bounce back from a disappointing season in La Liga. With his experience at Borussia Dortmund, he hopes to restore the club's high standards and raise its ambitions. This is crucial for the season outlook, especially after missing the knockout phase in the Champions League.Key points

Edin Terzic starts his adventure as head coach of Athletic Club this year in good spirits. The German coach, who made his mark at Borussia Dortmund, succeeded Ernesto Valverde in May after his departure from the Bilbao club.
At the press conference ahead of the new season, Terzic was clear: "Athletic Club is not a project in development, but a major established name in Spanish football. We must maintain our high standards and strive for success at the highest level."
After a disappointing last season, in which Athletic finished 12th in La Liga, Terzic wants to sharpen his ambitions. Two years earlier, the Basques finished fourth, followed by fifth place. The return to the Champions League was disappointing, as Athletic finished only 29th of 36 teams in the group stage and missed out on the knockout stages.
Terzic, who recently completed his first friendly match with a 3-0 win over CD Derio, spoke highly of the atmosphere in Bilbao: "My first impression is very positive. I found a professional group with a lot of effort and dedication. The first ten days went very well. We are now laying the foundations for the season and getting to know each other better."
For Terzic it is not about revolution, but about evolution: "Athletic is a stable club that we must protect and grow. My job is simply to ensure that the team can perform on the field. By learning from every match we can grow as a team and as individuals and thus increase our chances of success."
The first real showdown for Terzic comes on August 22 when Athletic Club takes on Sevilla. This will be followed by a tough away match against Barcelona. The preparation is all about mature and solid football, with which the Basques want to definitively return to the Spanish sub-top.
By attracting Terzic, Athletic Club is visibly opting for ambition and continuity. The clubnot only wants to build a bright future, but above all wants to hold on to the rich tradition that belongs to Athletic. The coming months will show whether the team can bounce back after the disappointing last season, with Terzic at the helm as the new captain.
What's happening now
Terzic will focus on improving Athletic Club's performance in La Liga and strengthening team dynamics. The coming matches will determine the match impact and the development of the players under his leadership. The team will have to prove itself to play a prominent role again in both national and European competitions.
