Coach Edin Terzic: Edin Terzic, the New coach of Athletic Bilbao, has backed his side to challenge for European qualification in the upcoming La Liga season. The former Borussia Dortmund coach took charge of the Basque club this summer after Ernesto Valverde stepped down following the fourth season of his third spell in charge.

Athletic Club struggled for consistency in 2025-26 and finished 12th in La Liga, but Terzic has been encouraged by a pre-season campaign in which his side suffered only one defeat.

"The team, based on quality, is ready to play in Europe," the German said, a week before Athletic opens its league campaign at home to Sevilla. "If we deserve it, it will be because we work harder and better, and that will prepare us. Europe is one of our objectives."
