The name Mike Tullberg is sure to still hold a special place in the hearts of many BVB fans. The long-time and highly successful U19 coach was responsible for the first team of the Black and Yellows for three Bundesliga matches last season, following the departure of Nuri Sahin.
His record speaks for itself. During that period, Tullberg collected seven points and rolled out the red points carpet for his successor, Niko Kovač.
What stuck with people the most, however, was his emotional celebration after the away win over FC Heidenheim, when the Dane celebrated with the traveling BVB fans like a wild Duracell bunny. Quite a few observers accused the 39-year-old of putting on a show at the time.
2 von 3 Spielen gewonnen.

1 Unentschieden mit 70 Min Unterzahl.
Phasenweise echt guter Fussball.
Die Hoffnung auf eine irgendwie versöhnliche Rückrunde.
Dem Team wieder etwas Leben eingehaucht.
Fans wieder mitgenommen.
Danke dafür Mike #Tullberg ❤️#BVBpic.twitter.com/PQwGXZ9x3z
And indeed: In his new role as head coach of Danish top club FC Midtjylland, Tullberg delivered images last week that were extremely similar to those from Heidenheim.

Is it simply the Dane’s emotional nature coming through, or does he actually rehearse his emotional outbursts at home in front of the mirror? We don’t know.
