United Consider Ex-Dortmund Boss Edin Terzic As Ten Hag Replacement

Former Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic is being touted as a potential Erik Ten Hag replacement by Manchester United bosses as pressure continues to mount on the Dutchman. 

Edin Terzic Could Replace Erik Ten Hag At Old Trafford

With speculation surrounding Manchester United regarding a potential replacement.

Terzic is a surprising name high up on that list after he took Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final last season before leaving the club less than two weeks later.

The German manager enjoyed a strong run to the final of Europe’s elite competition, beating Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 on aggregate in the semi-final. They went on to lose 2-0 to Real Madrid in the final at Wembley.

Terzic, 41, completed his coaching badges in England becoming friends withGareth Southgate and Thomas Tuchel also on their radar.

This wouldn’t be Terzic’s first job in England though. He worked alongside Slaven Bilic as his assistant at West Ham from 2015-2017. He eventually graduated from the FA’s coaching course alongside former United players Nicky Butt and Nemanja Vidic in 2018.

Edin Terzic:

Plays 4-3-3 attacking football ✅
Former scout, useful for talent ID ✅
Holds degrees in Sports Science ✅
Currently free, not coaching any team ✅
Deep understanding of Dortmund’s successful football model ✅
Speaks English ✅

An underrated choice. https://t.co/6sRclyeeMs
