Athletic Bilbao have appointed ​Edin Terzic as head ‌coach from next season, ​the LaLiga ⁠club said on Tuesday.

The former Borussia Dortmund ‌coach has signed a deal until ‌2028, replacing ‌Ernesto ⁠Valverde with the ⁠Bilbao sitting eighth in the Spanish league standings.

Terzic, ​43, arrives ‌in the Basque Country with a reputation for leading teams ‌who play high-intensity, ​attacking football. His tenure at ⁠Dortmund was marked by a German Cup ‌title in 2021 and a run to the Champions League final in 2024, which they ‌lost 2-0 to Real ​Madrid.

The German has been without a ⁠job since leaving Dortmund ⁠at the end of the ‌2023-24 season.
