Playing career
A forward, Tullberg got his national breakthrough with Danish Superliga club AGF when he scored a goal against Danish giants Brøndby IF which was named Danish goal of the year 2007.[2] Tullberg signed for Reggina together with fellow Dane Kris Stadsgaard in 2007. He struggled to gain a regular place in the Reggina team, and Tullberg joined Hearts on a one-year loan deal.[3] In August 2009, he joined Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in the German 2nd Bundesliga. Due to injuries, over the course of two years he was limited to making just four appearances. For this reason his contract was not renewed. A year later, he retired from football.
Coaching career
A short time later Tullberg took over the post of assistant coach at the German district League club SG Schönebeck.[4] A year later he went as a youth coach to his former club Rot-Weiß Oberhausen and a half years later he took over the post of coach at the U-19 of the clubs from Oberhausen.[5]
On 24 March 2017, it was confirmed Tullberg would be the new manager of AGF Aarhus U19 starting from the summer 2017.[6]
On 25 March 2019, Borussia Dortmund announced that Tullberg had signed with the club and would start his new job as manager of the club's reserve team from the 2019–20 season.[7] In May 2020, the club announced that Tullberg would become manager of the U19 team for the following season; seen as a more prestigious position within the ranks of the club.[8]
On 22 January 2025, Tullberg was named interim head coach of Borussia Dortmund's first team, competing in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league system.[9] He coached the first team in three matches at home, a 2–2 draw against Werder Bremen,[10] a 3–1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League,[11] and a 2–1 away victory over Heidenheim.[12]
On 5 May 2025, Tullberg once again became manager of Borussia Dortmund II in the 3. Liga following the sacking of Jan Zimmermann.[13]
On 2 September 2025, Tullberg left Dortmund to become new manager of Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland, replacing Thomas Thomasberg.[14]
