Tullberg was at a speed at Signal Iduna Park for the adjustment of the 19th round of Werder Bremen last Saturday, after taking the reins after Nuri şahin was fired on January 22.

“We are taking the necessary time,” said Dortmund’s managing director for sport, Lars Ricken, in reference to making a full-time appointment. “I think we are currently in an excellent position with Mike because he connects with the players.”
Sporting director Sebastian Kehl said Tallberg had the club’s “total confidence” until a resolution was made.
Watch: Who is Mike Tullberg?
For his first game in charge, the long-time Dortmund U19s coach oversaw a 2-2 home draw against Bremen in which his side shrugged off an early red card for Nico Schlotterbeck.
They stormed to a 2-0 lead with ten men thanks to a first-half goal from Serhou Guirassy, who then forced an own-goal from Marco Friedl after the Bremen captain had attempted to block the Dortmund forward’s shot. However, their lead was undone by two former Dortmund men: first, a Leonardo Bittencourt screamer lifted the visitors, who then equalised through Marvin Ducksch just minutes later.

Shortly after the match, Dortmund confirmed that Tullberg would reassume control from the sidelines for Wednesday’s final league phase fixture in the Champions League.
“That was actually already clear beforehand,” said Ricken. “But I told him that it was all about the Bremen game first, because I wanted Mike Tullberg one hundred percent – and that what we got.”
