Keld Kristensen (born 16 January 1952) is a Danish former football player and manager currently working as a scout.[1] He most notably managed F.C. Copenhagen.
Playing career
Keld Kristensen played most of his career at B 1903. In 1970–1972 he played 6 games for various Danish national youth sides. He scored one goal against the Netherlands under-19s on 8 August 1970.[2]
Coaching career
As a manager, he started in his old club B 1903. Later he returned to the club as assistant for Benny Johansen. When B 1903 merged with Kjøbenhavns Boldklub to form F.C. Copenhagen in 1992, Kristensen continued as Johansen's assistant. When Johansen stopped as manager in 1994, Kristensen was named new head coach. The club had a terrible start to the 1994-1995 season: In the UEFA Cup they only barely defeated Finnish side FC Jazz Pori, and after five games in the Superliga the club had lost three games and drawn two. Due to the bad results the board chose to sack Kristensen and replaced him with Johansen.[3]
