Svenne Poulsen (born 11 November 1980) is a Danish professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of Jutland Series club FC Skanderborg.

Playing career

Poulsen came to prominence with Randers FC in the Danish 1st Division, and signed a contract extension with the club in May 2003.[1] He helped Randers win promotion to the Danish Superliga, and scored three goals in 23 appearances during the 2004–05 Superliga season.[2]

In 2005, Poulsen joined league rivals FC Midtjylland, where he scored once in 14 appearances in the 2005–06 Superliga season.[2] The following year, he moved to 1st Division club AGF.[3] His contract with AGF was terminated by mutual consent in 2007,[4] after which he joined Danish 2nd Division side Hobro IK. He remained there until leaving the club in December 2012.[5]

Coaching career

After beginning his coaching career with the under-19 team of Randers Freja, Poulsen was appointed head coach of Vorup FB in January 2021.[6] He left the role in November 2024, having led the club from Series 1 to the Denmark Series through two promotions.[7]

After leaving Vorup, Poulsen returned to Randers Freja, where he coached the club's under-15 side. In July 2025, he returned to senior management when he was appointed head coach of Jutland Series club FC Skanderborg.[8]
