Jesper Sørensen (born 10 June 1973) is a Danish professional football coach and former player. He is currently manager of the Danish Superliga team Brøndby IF.

Sørensen previously played football as a midfielder for FC Copenhagen, Ikast FS, AB and AGF.

In the summer of 2009, he became assistant coach at AGF – a position he held until 2013, when he became head coach of Silkeborg IF. However, after registering a record low number of points in the Superliga, Sørensen was sacked on 8 December 2014.^[1]

On 18 August 2021, he was announced as the new manager of the Danish under-21 national team,^[2] although he kept serving as the assistant coach at Brøndby IF until the end of the same year.^[3]

Under Sørensen's tenure, Denmark reached the qualification play-offs for the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, even though they eventually lost to Croatia over two legs.^[4] Despite that, in December 2022 the coach (as well as his assistant, Steffen Højer), renewed his contract with the Federation until 2024.^[5]

Just a month after renewing his contract, Sørensen left the Danish U-21 team to become manager of his former club Brøndby IF in January 2023.^[6]
