Managerial shake-up looming: Bundesliga club after ex-BVB coach Tullberg? | OneFootball

Is Mike Tullberg returning to Germany? It was only in September 2025 that the 40-year-old coach said goodbye to his Danish homeland. Now, a Bundesliga club is said to have the former successful Dortmund coach on its list.

Tullberg is currently making quite a few headlines. With FC Midtjylland, he only narrowly missed out in the title race against Aarhus GF. Most recently, he was once again shown a yellow card for dissent during the 0-0 draw away at FC Nordsjaelland in the Superliga championship round.

The booking has serious consequences. In the upcoming cup final against FC Copenhagen and Youssoufa Moukoko (21) on Thursday (May 14, 5 p.m.), Tullberg will be suspended and watching from the stands.

Last year, FC Midtjylland reportedly paid more than one million euros, according to Reviersport, to pry the then-U23 coach away from Dortmund. The four-time Danish champions gave the returning coach a contract until 2029.

Extensive shortlist of candidates

Now, however, a Bundesliga rival of Borussia Dortmund appears to be looking into Tullberg, as Sportbild reports. According to the report, Eintracht Frankfurt is searching for a successor to Albert Riera. The 44-year-old Spaniard is already facing the exit again after just a few months in charge. Tullberg’s name is said to be on a shortlist compiled by sporting director Markus Krösche (45).

However, the man who led BVB’s U19s to the German championship in 2022 is considered only an outsider. Tullberg’s fellow Dane Jacob Neestrup (38), who had to leave FC Copenhagen at the end of March 2026, is apparently seen as having a better chance. Kjetil Knutsen (57), who sensationally guided Bodö/Glimt into the Champions League round of 16, could also soon appear on a Bundesliga bench.
