Double blow for ex-BVB coach Tullberg | OneFootball

Mike Tullberg (40) did not have an ideal weekend. The former Borussia Dortmund coach had to take a double blow.

Two and a half weeks ago, the future looked bright for Tullberg and his club FC Midtjylland. On matchday 6 of the championship round, the Wolves climbed to first place in the Superliga thanks to a 2–1 away win over SönderjyskE. Aarhus GF, who had led the table for a long time, slipped to second after a 1–1 draw in Nordsjaelland.

Tullberg’s team managed to stay top of the table for two weeks. But after a 3–3 draw against Viborg FF, they lost the lead. Things got even worse, as FCM could do no better than a 0–0 draw in Nordsjaelland last weekend. Aarhus, meanwhile, won 2–0 away at Bröndby and secured the championship with one round to spare. Janni Serra (28), a former top BVB talent, was among those celebrating.

Tullberg set to face Moukoko

But Tullberg must bury more than just the dream of the title. It is true that the 2022 U19 championship-winning coach will lead Midtjylland into the cup final against FC Copenhagen and Youssoufa Moukoko (21) on May 14 (5 p.m.). However, the fiery coach will not be found on the touchline.

Due to a suspension, Tullberg is barred from the bench, according to the Danish portal bold.dk. In the match against Nordsjaelland, the 40-year-old received a yellow card in the 82nd minute for dissent and is therefore suspended for the upcoming cup final. The former BVB coach will now be replaced by his assistant Allan K. Jepsen (48/formerly of Hamburger SV and Alemannia Aachen).

This is not the first time this season that Tullberg has attracted negative attention. As he has now accumulated 36 so-called suspension points, he automatically received a one-match ban under the disciplinary regulations of the Danish Football Association (DBU). That means he will have to watch the cup final from the stands.
