Career

Early years

Terzić was born in 1982, in Menden, West Germany to a working-class family immigrated from Yugoslavia.[4] He is of maternal Croatian and paternal Bosniak descent[5] and also holds Croatian citizenship.[6][7] Terzić played at the fourth level of professional leagues in Germany during his playing career.[4] He is an alumnus of Ruhr University Bochum where he studied Sports Science.[4]

Coaching career

Between 2010 and 2013, Terzić worked as a scout and assistant coach in the youth academy of Borussia Dortmund, reporting to then first team manager Jürgen Klopp.[8][9] His older brother Alen also works as a scout for Borussia Dortmund, and served as caretaker manager of Borussia Dortmund II during the 2019–20 Regionalliga West season.[10]

Terzić was an assistant coach of Slaven Bilić at Beşiktaş J.K. between 2013 and 2015 and at West Ham United from 2015 to 2017.[11] His collaboration with Bilić started in 2012, when Terzić drafted and delivered a pre-game opponent analysis for Croatia's group stage match against Republic of Ireland at Euro 2012.[12] Satisfied with the analysis, Bilić offered him to join him as assistant coach at Lokomotiv Moscow, however, the deal eventually fell through.[12] Bilić offered Terzić once again to join him at Beşiktaş, and Terzić accepted the offer after consulting with Borussia Dortmund.[12] He followed him to West Ham United in 2015, but left the club two years later when Bilić was sacked on 6 November 2017.[13]

Since 2018, Terzić has held UEFA Pro Licence qualification, after graduating from an 18-month long course of The Football Association in England.[14]

Terzić returned to Borussia Dortmund in 2018 as an assistant coach of the first team after the appointment of Lucien Favre as manager.[15] He took charge of the team along with his colleague Manfred Stefes for the 2018–19 encounter against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, as head coach Lucien Favre missed the match due to illness.[8][16] After Favre was sacked following a 1–5 loss against VfB Stuttgart in December 2020, Terzić was appointed caretaker manager until the end of the 2020–21 season.[3]
