Former Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic has signed with La Liga side Athletic Bilbao, the club said in a statement on Tuesday.

Terzic signed a contract until June 2028. He will succeed Ernesto Valverde, who's leaving the team at the end of the season.

Terzic coached Dortmund from December 2020 until June 2021, and then again between the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons. He was recently working as a TV pundit.

With the Bundesliga side, he won the German Cup in 2021 and reached the Champions League final in 2024, losing to Real Madrid. He will be officially presented at the start of the new season.

"Currently, all focus is on the four crucial remaining matches," the club said. Bilbao still has a chance to qualify for European competition.
