Borussia Dortmund's U19 coach, Mike Tullberg, will take charge of the first team on an interim basis while the club search for a replacement for Nuri Sahin.

After announcing Sahin's sacking on Wednesday, the Black and Yellows confirmed that the 39-year-old Dane will lead the first team into Saturday's Bundesliga clash with Werder Bremen.

Tullberg has been coaching the U-19 side since 2020. He previously spent a season in charge of the reserves.

He was linked with Norwegian side SK Brann earlier this month, but ultimately stayed at Dortmund.

Dortmund sit 10th in the Bundesliga ahead of Saturday's game against Werder.
