Newcastle United dragged brutally into manager drama that would see Eddie Howe exit – It feels like it may be PR
Newcastle United find themselves amidst speculation stirred by a prominent Bild am Sonntag article praising the remarkable journey of Edin Terzic. The piece highlights Terzic’s turnaround from the brink of dismissal to the brink of Champions League success.
According to Bild, Newcastle United stands among three Premier League clubs contemplating the possibility of securing the services of Borussia Dortmund’s current manager in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Despite clinching a Champions League spot last season, Newcastle United’s progress has been marred by a slew of injuries, hampering their performance under the leadership of Eddie Howe. Finishing sixth, given the circumstances, is commendable rather than disappointing.
Speculation surrounding Howe’s future remains, but it’s unlikely that Newcastle will part ways with him, especially to appoint a relatively young manager like Terzic.
Edin Terzić is the current Borussia Dortmund manager, and here is how he has performed this season:
- UEFA Champions League: Borussia Dortmund, under Terzić’s leadership, has qualified for the UEFA Champions League final, which will take place on June 1 against Real Madrid at Wembley Stadium.
- UEFA Champions League Group Stage: Borussia Dortmund topped Group F, winning three games, drawing two, and losing one, with seven goals scored and four conceded.
- UEFA Champions League Knockout Stage: Dortmund defeated PSV in the Round of 16, Atlético de Madrid in the quarterfinals, and Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals.
- Bundesliga Performance: Borussia Dortmund is currently second in the Bundesliga, with 64 points from 32 games, six points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
- Terzić’s Tactical Approach: Terzić has employed a flexible tactical approach, switching between a back three and a back four, with a focus on quick transitions and counter-attacks.
- Player Development: Terzić has been credited with the development of several key players, including Jude Bellingham and Karim Adeyemi, who have become crucial to the team’s success.
- Team Cohesion: Terzić has fostered a strong team spirit, with players praising his leadership and the team’s unity, which has contributed to their success this season.
The mention of Newcastle United in relation to Edin Terzic appears more as a publicity stunt orchestrated by the German media. It’s common for them to link Premier League clubs with managers from Bundesliga clubs, boosting the profile of the managers in question.
