In a statement, Terzic expressed his sentiments about leaving the club he has been deeply connected with for nearly a decade.

“After the game at Wembley, I asked for a meeting with the club’s senior management team, because after nine years at BVB – including six on the coaching staff and two and a half as head coach – I feel that the club’s new era should begin with a new man on the touchline.”
