[edit] Club career

[edit] Norway

Jørn Andersen's career started at local team Østsiden where he remained until 1982. Subsequently, he moved to Fredrikstad and netted seven goals in 43 Tippeliga appearances. The striker was transferred to Vålerenga in 1984-1985 season. Andersen was able to score an amazing 23 goals in just 22 matches for the Oslo side.

[edit] Germany

In 1985 1. FC Nürnberg signed the Norwegian. In 78 matches Andersen scored 28 goals before he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt.

In 1990 Andersen became the first foreign player to be the most prolific scorer in a season with 18 goals in the Fußball-Bundesliga. In 1990-1991 Andersen played for Fortuna Düsseldorf and returned to the Frankfurt side. After that spell he joined Hamburger SV (1994-1995) and Dynamo Dresden to play in the Bundesliga.

[edit] Switzerland

From Dresden Andersen headed to Switzerland to move to FC Zürich in 1995 but was not successful as he score only two goals in 33 appearances. After the 1997-98 campaign he retired at FC Lugano.

[edit] International career

He made his debut for Norway in 1985 and earned 27 caps, scoring 5 goals.[1] His last international match was an October 1990 European Championship qualifying match against Hungary, coming on as a substitute for Jahn Ivar Jakobsen.

[edit] Managing career

Jørn Andersen became as youth manager at FC Luzern and returned to Germany again to manage the then-2nd tier team Rot-Weiß Oberhausen from 2003 until 2004. After that spell he assisted Horst Köppel at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Andersen claims in the Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang in September 2006 that he had several talks with Joachim Löw to become assistant manager for Germany. The contacts were confirmed by Löw. Andersen says he did not get the position due to his nationality.[citation needed]

In May 2007 he signed to Greek top flight team Skoda Xanthi to manage them from 2007-08 on but in June 2007 the contract was dissolved for private reasons.

In late 2007 he signed for 2. Bundesliga strugglers Kickers Offenbach, but was unable to save them from relegation.

On 20 May 2008, he signed a two-year deal with 2. Bundesliga outfit FSV Mainz, who were only two points short of getting promoted to the 1. Bundesliga.

[edit] Personal

Andersen became a German citizen in 1993. His son Niklas currently plays for Regionalliga Nord side Rot-Weiss Essen.
