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 Ten Hag’s future building, there are talks ongoing at 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 with Graham Potter in the meantime. It’s believed that Potter is also a target of United’s with Gareth 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

This Is United’s Worst Ever Start To A Season

Ten Hag is under serious pressure at Old Trafford, with the side sitting 14th in the Premier League winning just twice during their opening seven games. The Red Devils are also struggling in the Europa League scrounging two draws from as many games so far.

The 54-year-old has broken his own record set last season for United’s worst start to a league campaign. Could Edin Terzic be the man to save the 20-time champions?
