Jørn Andersen

Jørn Andersen (born 3 February 1963), sometimes written as Jörn, is a Norwegian football manager and former player who is the currently head coach of Chinese Super League club Yunnan Yukun.

Born in Fredrikstad, Andersen's career started at local team Østsiden where he remained until 1982. Subsequently, he moved to Fredrikstad and netted seven goals in 43 Norwegian Premier League appearances. The striker was transferred to Vålerenga ahead of the 1985 season. Andersen was able to score 23 goals in just 22 matches for the Oslo side.

In 1985, 1. FC Nürnberg signed the Norwegian. In 78 matches Andersen scored 28 goals before he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt. In 1990 Andersen became the first foreign player to be top goalscorer in a season with 18 goals in the Bundesliga. In 1990–91 Andersen played for Fortuna Düsseldorf and returned to the Frankfurt side. After that spell he joined Hamburger SV (1994–95) and Dynamo Dresden to play in the Bundesliga.

From Dresden, Andersen headed to Switzerland and FC Zürich in 1995, but was not successful as he scored only twice in 33 appearances. After the 1997–98 season he left FC Lugano to join FC Locarno.

Andersen made his debut for the Norway national team in 1985 and earned 27 caps, scoring five goals. His last international match was a European Championship qualifying match against Hungary in October 1990, coming on as a substitute for Jahn Ivar Jakobsen.

Andersen became the youth manager of FC Luzern and returned to Germany again to manage the then-second-tier team Rot-Weiß Oberhausen from 2003 until 2004. After that spell he assisted Horst Köppel at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In May 2007, he signed to Greek top-flight team Skoda Xanthi to manage them until 2008, but in June 2007 the contract was dissolved for private reasons.

In late 2007, he signed for 2. Bundesliga strugglers Kickers Offenbach, but was unable to save them from relegation.
