Description

Niels Frederiksen (Danish pronunciation: ; born 5 November 1970) is a Danish professional football manager who is the head coach of Polish Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań.

Frederiksen began his career as a head coach at Lyngby Boldklub in 2009 after having spent almost two decades as a youth coach in B 1913, B.93, and Lyngby. He remained in the post as head coach, and later manager, for the club for nearly four years. He then coached Esbjerg, leading them to a fifth place in the domestic league as well as their best European result ever: the Europa League round of 32 where the club was knocked out by Fiorentina. He was relieved of his duties in 2015. He was later put in charge of the Denmark national under-21 team, before being appointed head coach of Brøndby in June 2019, replacing Alexander Zorniger. He would go on to lead the club to their first Danish Superliga title in 16 years in the 2020–21 season. In 2024, he joined Polish club Lech Poznań, where he won the Ekstraklasa title in his first season in charge.

During his tenure as coach and head of talent in Lyngby Boldklub, Frederiksen received his UEFA Pro Licence in 2011, and has since functioned as a coaching instructor in the Danish Football Union.

Frederiksen has a master's degree in economics from University of Southern Denmark, and worked in Danske Bank for several years, while having a part-time job as youth coach at B.93 and Lyngby Boldklub.

His favourite club is Borussia Dortmund, who he started supporting in 2011.
