Borussia Dortmund Swaps U23 Coach: Jan Zimmermann Out, Mike Tullberg Steps Up
Borussia Dortmund announces departure of U23 coach, Jan Zimmermann - Dortmund's U23 coach, Jan Zimmermann, is formally let go by the club.
Get ready for some changes in the Borussia Dortmund youth squad! The Bundesliga powerhouse has given the boot to U23 coach Jan Zimmermann, effective immediately.
The 45-year-old Zimmermann, who finds himself out in the cold, has had the unenviable task of keeping the third-tier team from tumbling down to the Regionalliga. With the U23 team currently mired in 16th place, they've managed to stay above the relegation fray only by a thin margin of goal difference.
So, who's stepping up to the plate? Enter Mike Tullberg, the 39-year-old strategic genius who has been coaching the U19 team under a contract that runs until 2028. Tullberg will take the helm of the U23 team for the next two league matches, starting now.
As the new U23 coach, Tullberg will be fighting tooth and nail to keep Borussia Dortmund's young guns away from the relegation trap. It's a tough gig, but with his impressive track record and the team's backing, there's every reason to believe they'll come out on top.
