LONDON - Former Arsenal and Denmark midfielder John Jensen was appointed assistant manager of Blackburn Wednesday.
Jensen has agreed to work alongside boss Steve Kean, initially until the end of the season.
“John has a wealth of experience, both here and abroad, and he is very much focused on the development of players,” Kean said.
“His views and philosophies on football dovetail with mine and he has also shown himself to be a very loyal assistant - a massively important factor for me,” he added. “I am delighted to welcome him aboard.”
The 45-year-old Jensen won a Danish championship with Herfolge.
“From what I see and hear, this looks like a very exciting time for Blackburn Rovers, with the new owners and a new manager,” he said.
“I think I can bring knowledge and experience to the job and I also believe I can help players become better individually and the team to improve as a collective unit. I view it as a great opportunity,” he added.
