Mike Tullberg didn’t make much of an impression in Edinburgh during his playing career.
But the former Hearts crock is back in the capital and has Hibs in his sights. The Dane, who was forced to retire aged 26 due to injuries, is in charge of the Borussia Dortmund Under 19 side who take on Steve Kean’s young Hibees in the UEFA Youth League at Easter Road this evening.
Tullberg arrived at Tynecastle on loan from Italian outfit Reggina back in 2008. He was handed the number nine shirt, but didn’t even manage that many appearances, turning out just seven times for the Jambos before heading to Germany with Rot-Weiss Oberhausen. However, he played just four times for them after being forced to hang up his boots in 2011 and embarked on his coaching career the following season, beginning as assistant coach with SC Shonebeck before a return to Oberhausen.
