Terzić was born in 1982, in Menden, West Germany to a working-class family that immigrated from Yugoslavia.[4] He is of paternal Bosniak and maternal Croatian descent[5] and holds Croatian citizenship.[6][7] Terzić played at the fourth level of professional leagues in Germany during his playing career.[4] He is an alumnus of Ruhr University Bochum where he studied Sports Science.[4]
Between 2010 and 2013, Terzić worked as a scout and assistant coach in the youth academy of Borussia Dortmund, reporting to then first team manager Jürgen Klopp.[8][9] His older brother Alen also works as a scout for Borussia Dortmund and served as caretaker manager of Borussia Dortmund II during the 2019–20 Regionalliga West season.[10]
Terzić was an assistant coach of Slaven Bilić at Beşiktaş between 2013 and 2015 and at West Ham United from 2015 to 2017.[11] His collaboration with Bilić started in 2012, when Terzić drafted and delivered a pre-game opponent analysis for Croatia's group stage match against Republic of Ireland at Euro 2012.[12] Satisfied with the analysis, Bilić offered him to join him as assistant coach at Lokomotiv Moscow, however, the deal eventually fell through.[12] Bilić offered Terzić once again to join him at Beşiktaş and Terzić accepted the offer after consulting with Borussia Dortmund.[12] He followed him to West Ham United in 2015, but left the club two years later when Bilić was sacked on 6 November 2017.[13]
Since 2018, Terzić has held UEFA Pro Licence qualification, after graduating from an 18-month long course of The Football Association in England.[14]
Terzić returned to Borussia Dortmund in 2018 as an assistant coach of the first team after the appointment of Lucien Favre as coach.[15] He took charge of the team along with his colleague Manfred Stefes for the 2018–19 encounter against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, as head coach Favre missed the match due to illness.[8][16] After Favre was sacked following a 5–1 loss against VfB Stuttgart in December 2020, Terzić was appointed interim manager until the end of the 2020–21 season.[3] On 13 May 2021, Terzić won the 2020–21 DFB-Pokal with Borussia Dortmund.[17] He was succeeded on a permanent basis by Borussia Mönchengladbach manager Marco Rose.[18]
Instead of returning to his position as assistant manager for the 2021–22 season, Terzić moved to the newly created position as technical manager.[19] After Borussia Dortmund and Rose mutually agreed to part ways after the season concluded,[20] Terzić was reappointed manager on a permanent basis, signing a contract until 2025.[21]
