After two years without a club coach, Edin Terzic has returned to Spain. He was working as the coach of Borussia Dortmund in the 2020-21 season. This time, he took charge of La Liga club Athletic Bilbao as a new challenge. Terzic spoke to the media for the first time since taking over as the club's coach. In an interview given to Athletic Bilbao's official website, he told how the first weeks after joining the club are going. Terzic said, "The first weeks were very intense. I wanted to integrate with the team as quickly as possible and introduce them to the football that they plan to play. I didn't want to put any pressure on the players, so I wanted to take my plans to them slowly. But what I noticed is that the players are very interested, they jump under my guidance and now they all know that if they all play their roles correctly, we can play as a good team on the field." "My plan is very simple. I want everyone to take responsibility on the field. It's not a magic wand, it's hard work. I want them to show their identity on the field, because our team is mostly local, that is, fighting spirit, we can win the match in any situation, that's all they have to focus on. And I think they are very much about that," he said. conscious But I don't want to put any pressure on them, I want them to enjoy playing." Terzic is the first German coach in the history of Athletic Bilbao. Does he think about this? "Of course it's history," Terzic said. But I am not very interested in this history. I want my deeds to be written in the history of football on the field. That's why I don't think much about these things. Rather, since I came here, I have everything here, this club, this city, these fans, these players — I have to focus on all this." Athletic Bilbao will play Real Betis in the next match in the league. Terzic said about this match, "It will be a difficult match. As we know, Real Betis is a very strong team at home. But we also have to believe in our own abilities. We can expect good things if we can implement what we have planned properly on the field."

What will happen next?

According to Terzic's plan, players need to understand their role and project their identity on the field. Athletic Bilbao's performance could see a significant improvement if his tactics work in the coming matches. This is an important time under Terzic's leadership to strengthen the club's position in world football.
