Karl Erik Bøhn (14 February 1965 – 2 February 2014)[1] was a Norwegian teacher, team handball player and coach. Starting from August 2011 he served as the head coach of the Hungarian women's national team,[2] and since November 2011 he was also in charge of the Hungarian top division side Győri Audi ETO KC.[3]

He played 126 matches for the Norway men's national handball team between 1986 and 1993.[4] He was head coach for the Norwegian women's club Larvik HK from 2005 until early 2011. Among his achievements as coach for Larvik HK were several Norwegian championships, victory in the EHF Women's Cup Winners' Cup in 2007/2008, and semifinalist in the EHF Women's Champions League in 2009/2010.

Bøhn ended his assignment with Larvik HK in January 2011, due to a controversy when Larvik player Heidi Løke, who was also Bøhn's girlfriend, signed a contract with the Hungarian club Győri Audi ETO KC.[5][6][7][8]

On 30 August 2011 Bøhn was announced as the new head coach of the Hungarian women's national team, thus becoming the first ever coach from outside Hungary to manage the national selection. He got a mandate until the 2016 Summer Olympics.[2]

Three months later, on 23 November 2011 Bøhn took the coaching position of Hungarian top club Győri Audi ETO KC, signing a contract until the end of that season.[3]

He died on February 2, 2014 after a long fight with cancer.
