the Football League with Kidderminster Harriers
.

Playing career

Henriksen, famed for his long locks of

Danish championship.[3]

As Herfølge struggled economically, Henriksen was

transfer deal in February 2002.[4]

Somewhat ironically, his career at the club only really took off after his mentor Jan Mølby parted company with the club in 2002. Henriksen will fondly be remembered in Kidderminster for breaking all kinds of records during the club's short five-year stay in

Mansfield Town in August 2003, but failed to score again in his Kidderminster career despite remaining one of their most popular footballers.[7]

Affectionately known as "Bomber Bo", he left Kidderminster and joined

Fram Reykjavik in Iceland,[10] as well as Victory in the Maldives.[11] He failed to agree financial terms with English non-league side Telford United in March 2006, and moved on to Icelandic club ÍBV.[12]

Managerial career

Bo Henriksen was a successful player/manager and later manager of Brønshøj from 2007, getting the club promoted to the second best league (Danish 1st Division) in 2010 and maintaining them in the top half of the league for a handful of seasons,[13] until he left for Horsens in 2014.[14] He managed Horsens for six years, until he left by mutual consent in August 2020.[15]

On 31 May 2021, Henriksen was named the new manager of

2019-20 Danish Superliga title and had moved to a coaching position at Royal Antwerp.[16]

Henriksen has been released of his managerial duties at Midtjylland as of 28 July 2022, according to an official statement published on Twitter.[17]

His tenure at Midtjylland included a second place in the league, only three points off winners Copenhagen and a Danish cup win. They were also just one win away from getting to the UEFA Champions League group stages.

On 10 October 2022, he was confirmed as the new head coach of FC Zürich.[18] He signed a contract until summer 2024 with the defending Swiss champions, who found themselves at the bottom of the league after ten games played and with only four points, at the time of his Henriksen's assignment.

He then transformed the team from being botton of the league with only four points in ten games, to being one of the swiss teams who got the most points. Some big results also included a win over Bodø Glimt and a draw against Arsenal.

On 13 February 2024, Henriksen departed FC Zürich by mutual consent to take up the coaching position at Mainz 05, following the dismissal of Jan Siewert.[19][20]
