Dan Vesterby Thomassen (born 24 March 1981) is a Danish former professional footballer and current coach. He has played for Danish Superliga side AGF Aarhus, Norwegian side Vålerenga and Danish champions Copenhagen.

Playing career

Thomassen came to FCK from Calcio Padova where he played for five years. In his youth years, he played in AGF.

He signed for Vålerenga IF on 1 July 2007.

Since he signed with AGF in 2008, he has been dealing with many injuries, which meant that he missed some vital matches for his team.[1]

He moved back to Italy in 2011 and retired in 2018.

Coaching career

After retiring from active football, Thomassen took on a career as a youth coach, joining Vicenza, and being appointed in charge of the Under-19 team in 2022.

On 16 March 2023, following the dismissal of Francesco Modesto, he was promoted to head coach of Vicenza in the Serie C league for the remainder of the season.[2] Just a month later, on 11 April 2023, he guided Vicenza to win the Coppa Italia Serie C after defeating Juventus F.C. Next Gen in a two-legged final.[3]

In July 2023, Thomassen was announced as the new assistant coach of Brescia, working alongside his brother-in-law, head coach Daniele Gastaldello.[4] Both Gastaldello and Thomassen were dismissed from their roles on 10 November 2023, following a negative string of results in the Serie B league.[5]

Personal life

Thomassen is currently residing in Padua, and is married to Michela Gastaldello, sister of Italian professional football coach and former player Daniele Gastaldello.[6]
