According to BILD, Tottenham and Crystal Palace are interested in hiring Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic.
The 38-year-old jumped into the hot-seat after Lucien Favre was sacked by the Bundesliga outfit back in December.
Since then, Terzic has done a very impressive job.
The Tottenham and Crystal Palace target has won 19 of his 31 games in charge, with Borussia Dortmund scoring 71 goals along the way.
Terzic has picked up a total of 61 points in that time too, averaging 1.97 points per game for Borussia Dortmund.
Defensively, the German giants have conceded 41 goals in Terzic’s 31 games in charge.
Impressively, the Menden-born coach also won the DFB-Pokal on May 13th.
Under his guidance, Borussia Dortmund hammered RB Leipzig 4-1 to lift the German Cup in style.
Terzic may only have ever managed on an interim basis, but there’s simply no denying that he’s doing a wonderful job with the club.
It’s no wonder that Tottenham and Crystal Palace are keen.
BILD also state that Newcastle hold an interest in Terzic.
That might well be true, as Steve Bruce has come under some serious pressure at times this season.
However, Tottenham are currently managerless, while Crystal Palace will wave Roy Hodgson goodbye in a matter of days, so their interest in Terzic is more intriguing, in our view.
It would be a risk – especially for Tottenham – to hire such an inexperienced manager.
However, the signs are certainly promising.
With the success of other German coaches such as Jürgen Klopp and Hansi Flick, this might just be a gamble worth taking.
