My Take
Edin Terzic is one of those coaches whose story I genuinely root for. German-Croatian, born in Menden, he never had a glamorous playing career in the lower leagues, yet he climbed through Borussia Dortmund as a scout and youth assistant before taking the top job. That's a real grinder's path, and it shows in how he connects with players. Now he's set to take over Athletic Bilbao for the 2026-27 season, a club with a fierce identity, which I think suits his emotional, all-in style. Watching a former scout end up running a La Liga side is exactly the kind of football arc I enjoy following.
