Pål Arne Johansen (born 16 February 1977) is a retired Norwegian football midfielder and later manager.
He hails from Brønnøy where he played youth football for Sport-71 and Brønnøysund, and made his senior debut for Brønnøy in 1993. Ahead of the 1994 season he moved south to attend the and play youth football for Bærum.[1] His first senior team in Southeast Norway was Fossum, joining 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 Football Association of Norway in 2006, first as assistant coach of the Norway women's national football team.[6] Already after his first season he was named Young Manager of the Year by the football managers' association.[7] He left the Norwegian women's national team after the 2009 UEFA Women's European Championship.[8] He was the assistant manager of Hønefoss BK in the 2011 and 2012 seasons, and assistant manager of Legia Warsaw (again under Henning Berg) from July 2014 to October 2015.[9] Ahead of the 2017 season he succeeded Eirik Horneland as head coach of 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).
