Career
Johansen hails from
1. divisjon team Lyn in 1998. After barely featuring in their promotion season of 2000, he went on to Ullensaker/Kisa IL.[2] In 2002 he joined Bærum,[3] but after one season he pursued a coaching career, starting as player-manager of Groruddalen BK. He also immersed himself in theoretical football studies at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, co-writing the book Ferdighetsutvikling i fotball in 2002.[4] Johansen was a player developer in Lyn, and in late 2005, when Lyn contested the 2005–06 Royal League, Johansen was acting assistant manager under Henning Berg. Johansen however resigned because of the values espoused by Lyn's directors.[5]
Following his club exploits, Johansen was hired by the
Norway U18 and U19.[10] He led Norway to the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship (for the first time since 2005) and the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup (for the first time since 1993). On 24 January 2022, he was appointed head coach of Eliteserien club Odd.[11]
