Completely out of the blue: major managerial shake-up at the BVB team | OneFootball

The BVB U23 team unexpectedly loses their new coach Mike Tullberg. The Dane immediately moves abroad – Dortmund receives a substantial transfer fee for this.

Borussia Dortmund unexpectedly loses one of its greatest coaching talents. Mike Tullberg, who has been with BVB since 2019 and recently coached the second team, is leaving the Black and Yellows with immediate effect, according to consistent reports from Sky and Bild. The 39-year-old is taking over a foreign club that is playing internationally this season.

According to information from Sky, BVB receives a transfer fee of just over one million euros for the move. This means Dortmund is receiving an unusually large amount of money for a coach who is considered promising but has yet to gain much experience at the highest level.

Notably, Tullberg had just extended his contract in Dortmund until 2028 in the spring. In May, he was promoted from the U19 to the U23 – despite the second team's relegation from the 3rd league. Shortly before, he had emphasized: "In recent years, I have experienced many special moments as a coach at Borussia Dortmund and am absolutely motivated to work successfully with our U23 from the new season and to support the development of our talents in my new position."

BVB Shock: U23 Coach Mike Tullberg Leaves Dortmund Immediately

Previously, the Dane celebrated remarkable successes with the BVB U19, leading them to the quarterfinals of the A-Junior Bundesliga – and with the youngest team ever to compete in this tournament. In January, he stepped in as interim coach for the professionals after Nuri Şahin's dismissal and stabilized the team with two wins and a draw from three games. Overall, he achieved two wins and one draw before Niko Kovac took over the team.

Most recently, the young coach managed BVB's second team in the Regionalliga. In the first five games of the current season, he secured eight points – a solid start before the sudden departure occurred.

For Mike Tullberg, it is the next step in a coaching career that has clearly gained momentum. In the past, clubs from Scandinavia and the Netherlands had shown interest, and this time the Dane decided on a new challenge. However, it is not yet known which club will hire him in the future.
