Sten Christensen (born 18 December 1965) is a Danish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

[edit]

In 1992, Christensen joined Brøndby. Christensen made his debut for the club on 16 August 1992 in a 3–3 Superligaen draw against Frem. During his time at Brøndby, Christensen would make three more Superligaen appearances for the club, primarily serving as a deputy to Mogens Krogh.[1] Christensen would later join Hvidovre, making 15 league appearances in the 1996–97 Danish Superliga season, following Hvidovre's promotion to the top flight.[2]

Coaching career

[edit]

In 2008, Christensen returned to Brøndby as a goalkeeping coach.[1]

In July 2012, English club Chelsea recruited Christensen as a scout, whilst he was still employed at Brøndby. A subsequent 2018 investigation by Football Leaks and Danish newspaper Politiken revealed there was no evidence Christensen performed any scouting duties whilst employed at the club on an £11,400 per month salary.[3] Christensen left Brøndby at the end of 2018.[1]

Personal life

[edit]

Christensen's son, Andreas, is a current international footballer for Denmark.[3]
