Mike Tullberg (born 25 December 1985) is a Danish professional football manager manager and former player who is currently the caretaker manager of Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, and is in charge of Borussia Dortmund U19.[1]

Playing career

[edit]

A forward, Tullberg got his national breakthrough with Danish Superliga club AGF Aarhus when he scored a goal against Danish giants Brøndby IF which was named Danish goal of the year 2007.[2] Tullberg signed for Reggina together with fellow Dane Kris Stadsgaard in 2007. He struggled to gain a regular place in the Reggina team, and Tullberg joined Hearts on a one-year loan deal.[3] In August 2009, he joined Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in the German 2nd Bundesliga. Because of injuries, he came in two years to just four appearances. For this reason his contract was not renewed. A year later, he finished his career.

Coaching career

[edit]

A short time later Tullberg took over the post of assistant coach at the German district League club SG Schönebeck.[4] A year later he went as a youth coach to his former club Rot-Weiß Oberhausen and a half years later he took over the post of coach at the U-19 of the clubs from Oberhausen.[5]

On 24 March 2017, it was confirmed Tullberg would be the new manager of AGF Aarhus U19 starting from the summer 2017.[6]

On 25 March 2019, Borussia Dortmund announced that Tullberg had signed with the club and would start his new job as manager of the club's reserve team from the 2019–20 season.[7] In May 2020, the club announced that Tullberg would become manager of the U19 team for the following season; seen as a more prestigious position within the ranks of the club.[8] On 22 January 2025, Tullberg was named interim head coach of Borussia Dortmund's first team, which plays in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league system.[9]
