Mike Tullberg (born 25 December 1985) is a Danish professional football manager and former player who is currently in charge of FC Midtjylland. [1]
A forward, Tullberg got his national breakthrough with Danish Superliga club AGF 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.
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, competing in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league system. [9] He coached the first team in three matches at home, a 2–2 draw against Werder Bremen, [10] a 3–1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, [11] and a 2–1 away victory over Heidenheim. [12]
On 5 May 2025, Tullberg once again became manager of Borussia Dortmund II in the 3. Liga following the sacking of Jan Zimmermann. [13]
On 2 September 2025, Tullberg left Dortmund to become new manager of Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland. [14]
