BVB, News: Hans-Joachim Watzke supports Edin Terzic

After the disappointing end of the year with two Bundesliga defeats in a row and falling to sixth place, BVB boss Watzke has strengthened Dortmund’s head coach Terzic.

“We’re still in the Champions League, and in the DFB Cup too. Edin is a guy who knows and loves the club, but he has a team that is still subject to major fluctuations,” said Watzke picture TV. And further: “But Terzic is doing a great job, so I’m sure we’ll enjoy him for a long time to come. We’re definitely 100 percent convinced of him, 1000 percent. He’s totally respected here. Leave the boy do it.”

The BVB managing director called the comparisons with predecessor Marco Rose “so stupid, they lag at every corner”. Although Terzic collected fewer points than Rose at the same time last year, he is still represented in the Champions League and not “miserably dropped out of the DFB Cup”.

“Edin is constantly evolving, is extremely focused. Not only does he love this club, he also knows exactly what we have to do now,” said Watzke in view of the recent league defeats in Wolfsburg and Mönchengladbach: “He’s doing a great job and Will do that at Borussia Dortmund for a long time.”

Terzic was “entirely” highly regarded by the Westphalians, Watzke added: “I hear from everyone involved how meticulously he works. We will see great things from him.”

Watzke was even drawn to a comparison with Jürgen Klopp, who has been enormously successful for many years and by which many coaches in Dortmund are still measured: “Jürgen Klopp has dedicated himself to the club for seven years. I see parallels to Edin, who is also totally focused on the club. I see that with Sebastian Kehl and it’s the same with me,” said Watzke.
