Reports Say Dortmund U23 Coach Mike Tullberg Leaving for Club in European Competition

The reported move follows his recent promotion to the reserves on a contract through 2028.

Overview

  • German outlets BILD and Sky report an immediate departure to an unnamed foreign side qualified for European play this season.
  • Dortmund is set to receive compensation for the coach, with Sky reporting a fee a little over €1 million.
  • Tullberg, 39, rose from four strong years with the U19s and collected seven points in a three-match interim spell with the first team in January.
  • He assumed the BVB II role in May after Jan Zimmermann’s exit, could not prevent relegation to the Regionalliga, and has the side ninth early in the new season.
  • The move has not been officially announced by the club, and Dortmund would need to fill the U23 vacancy and recalibrate its reserve-team plans if the reports are borne out.
