Kjetil Knutsen (born 2 October 1968) is a Norwegian football coach who manages Bodø/Glimt in Eliteserien.

Career

Knutsen started his manager career at fifth tier club TIL Hovding in 1995, initially as a junior coach, then as head coach. Knutsen would take the team up two divisions in nine years before leaving for a role at top tier side Brann as head of first team development.[1] He was hired as head coach at Fyllingsdalen in 2012 and then at Åsane in 2014. After Knutsen was sacked from his position as head coach in Åsane, he joined Bodø/Glimt as assistant coach under head coach Aasmund Bjørkan. In 2018, Knutsen became head coach for Bodø/Glimt after Bjørkan became sports director.[2] They finished the 2019 Eliteserien in second place, and Knutsen received the Eliteserien Coach of the Year award for this accomplishment.

In 2020 he led Bodø/Glimt to their first ever Norwegian national league title, in a record-breaking season where they lost only one game.[3] In 2021 he led Bodø/Glimt to their second Eliteserien title following a 3–0 win over Mjøndalen.[4]

In 2021, he led Bodø/Glimt to the club's first group stage in Europe, where his outfit became the first team in history to score six times against a José Mourinho side in a 6–1 victory against Roma at Aspmyra.[5]
