Jan Ove Pedersen (born November 12, 1968, Oslo) is a Norwegian football coach and former football player. As a player Pedersen played for Lillestrøm, Brann, Cercle Brugge K.S.V., Hartlepool United and SW Bregenz. He last worked as Sports Director and Manager at Rivella SC Bregenz who play in the Austrian Regionalliga West (the 3rd tier). As a player, Pedersen was a classy holding midfielder with a superb range of passes who rarely wasted a ball. His performances between 1990 and 1994 at Lillestrøm brought him international recognition. From there he signed for Brann Bergen in 1996 in a deal which saw Frank Strandli go the other way. He was a hugely popular player, especially at Hartlepool United. Despite only making 20 appearances whilst on loan from Brann, he would be one of the first names on any supporter’s All Time XI for the club. He finished his career playing in the best team in Schwarz-Weiss Bregenz’s history, reaching the Intertoto Cup in 2002 and 2004. When SW Bregenz went bankrupt in 2004 and lost their professional license, they turned to Pedersen to coach a hastily assembled squad of amateur players. His first two seasons in charge of the now renamed Rivella SC Bregenz saw two promotions, the second of these as Vorarlberliga champions. On 28 October 2007, just before the winter break, he was fired with SC Bregenz in the relegation zone of the Regionalliga West.[1]
