Immediately after ending his playing career in 1997, he became involved with OFK Beograd in administrative role as the club's director. In January 2005, he became the president of Serbian Football Association (FSS), an organization that has in July 2006, after Montenegrin secession, become the country's top football governing body. He resigned the post in March 2008 amid controversy.
After being on the run from law since March 2008 following an arrest warrant issued for him in Serbia where he's charged with embezzlement and fraud in regards to transfers of OFK Beograd players, Terzić turned himself in to Serbian authorities on 11 November 2010. During this time, he was widely believed to have been hiding in Montenegro where he has many personal ties and connections.
In 2014, despite facing trial for fraud and embezzlement, Terzić was appointed general manager of the Red Star Belgrade football club.
