Morten Knutsen (born 27 November 1977) is a Norwegian football coach and former player.
Career
Knutsen started his career in the
UEFA Cup 2004–05.[5] In 2005, however, he only played five games.[3] His time at Odd was marred by injury problems,[6] and in 2006 he only played for the club's B team.[7]
He retired from football in February 2007, but already in March he signed for
2. divisjon (third tier) might be a suitable arena. However, he almost immediately sustained a serious knee injury, losing the rest of the 2007 season.[6] In the 2008 season he trained the junior team of IF Trauma,[9] at the same time playing for the men's senior team.[10] He also functioned as caretaker coach for the senior team while the head coach was off sick. In late 2008 he was announced as the new head coach of Trauma, effective from 2009.[11]
Knutsen is married, has children,[6] and resides on Tromøya.
