Borussia Dortmund is surprisingly parting ways with its coach Marco Rose, the successor to the post of head coach should already be clear: Edin Terzic. With Peter Hermann, the coach should probably be given a legend. But it’s a little more complicated.
According to media reports, the former Heynckes assistant Peter Hermann is to become the assistant to the new coach Edin Terzic at Borussia Dortmund. While the appointment of Terzic to the position of head coach at the German runners-up is considered certain, there is a question mark over Hermann’s engagement.
The 70-year-old currently has a contract with the German Football Association (DFB) as an assistant coach for the U20 juniors. However, Hermann was recently released from the association to help out at FC Schalke 04 as assistant coach to interim coach Mike Büskens. He was recently said goodbye to the newly promoted Bundesliga team. The mission was extremely successful: At the end of the joint commitment with Büskens, Schalke 04 returned to the Bundesliga. Hermann is considered one of the most successful assistant coaches in Bundesliga history, and he celebrated great successes with Jupp Heynckes. The duo won the treble with FC Bayern Munich in 2013.
After the separation from Marco Rose on Friday, the Terzic personnel has not been officially confirmed at BVB either. Terzic, who was also Rose’s predecessor in Dortmund, is a self-confessed BVB fan, very popular with the fans and led the club to victory in the 2021 DFB Cup. In addition to Hermann, the 39-year-old Terzic will be supported by Sebastian Geppert, the Dortmund U17 coach.
After a complicated season, BVB had separated from Rose after just ten months. The coach, who came from Borussia Mönchengladbach for five million euros before the season, had led Borussia Dortmund to second place in the championship, but had completely disappointing results in the cup competitions.
