Borussia Dortmund confirm Mike Tullberg will remain on the bench against Heidenheim

Borussia Dortmund’s Lars Ricken confirmed that BVB interim head coach Mike Tullberg will remain on the sidelines for this weekend’s Bundesliga fixture against Heidenheim. Tullberg responded to an enquiry from the German associated press on Wednesday. Tullberg coached the team during last Saturday’s 2-2 league draw against Bremen and will be on the bench for this evening’s Champions’ League fixture against Shakhtar Donetsk.

Ricken and his fellow co-sporting-director Sebastian Kehl both commented on the BVB coaching search whilst speaking to German footballing media after the Bremen match. The two front office administrators emphasised that they found themselves in no rush to fill the position. Ricken lauded Tullberg for his work. Kehl hinted that Tullberg might remain in charge for quite some time.

“Mike Tullberg has our full confidence,” Ricken – as quoted by Kicker – said. “We’re allowing ourselves the requisite time. We’re excellently positioned with Mike at the moment because he reaches the players.”

“The right decision will be made when we are ready,” added Kehl, “Until then, Mike enjoys our confidence. I’m a big fan of promoting from within, but we might need some external input in our current situation.”
