Football: Borussia Dortmund Part Ways with U23 Coach Jan Zimmermann, Promotes Mike Tullberg as Temporary Replacement
Dortmund club announces departure of U23 team coach, Jan Zimmermann - Dortmund's U23 coach, Jan Zimmermann, is now out in the open following the team's announcement.
In a significant shift, football club giant Borussia Dortmund has terminated the contract of their Under-23 (U23) coach, Jan Zimmermann, with immediate effect. The decision comes after a string of poor performances, with the team suffering three consecutive losses. This unfortunate streak has left the U23 team in 16th place in the 3. Bundesliga, precariously close to the relegation spots due to a shallow goal difference [1].
In the wake of Zimmermann's departure, Mike Tullberg, the former Under-19 coach, has been appointed as the temporary replacement for the last two games of the season. Initially slated to take over the U23 coaching position starting from the next season, the present situation necessitated an early promotion for Tullberg [1][3].
The move comes as a positive boost for the struggling U23 team, who are under pressure to prevent relegation to the Regionalliga. The 39-year-old Tullberg, a Danish coach, has expressed his eagerness and enthusiasm to take on this responsibility, emphasizing his dedication to helping develop promising young talents within the Borussia Dortmund ranks [1][3].
