Henrik Pedersen (born 2 January 1978) is a Danish football manager who is currently the manager of EFL Championship club Sheffield Wednesday.

Career

Pedersen worked as a youth manager at several Danish clubs before joining Red Bull Salzburg.[1]

In 2014, he got his first job as a first team manager, when he became manager of HB Køge in the Danish 1st Division.[2] He left on 23 December 2015 by mutual consent.[3]

In 2016, he became Jens Keller's assistant manager at Union Berlin.[4] Pedersen was sacked together with Keller on 4 December 2017.[5]

On 30 May 2018, he was named new manager of Eintracht Braunschweig in the 3. Liga replacing Torsten Lieberknecht.[6] He was sacked on 10 October 2018.[7]

On 20 June 2019, he signed a 2+1⁄2-year contract with Norwegian club Strømsgodset.[8] He left the club on 9 April 2021, after allegations arose that he had made racist remarks during his time with the club.[9][10]

On 2 July 2021, Pedersen was announced as the new manager of Danish 1st Division club Vendsyssel FF.[11]

Sheffield Wednesday

On 20 October 2023, Vendsyssel FF confirmed that Pedersen had joined EFL Championship club Sheffield Wednesday as the assistant head coach to Danny Röhl.[12][13]

Pedersen extended his contract at the club in July 2025, saying that he and his family had fallen in love with the club and that he was "excited to continue his role at the club and getting back to work supporting the team and working with the great group of players".[14]

Following Röhl leaving the club, Pedersen was promoted to manager on 31 July 2025, reportedly signing a three-year contract with the club.[15][16] His first game ended in a 2–1 defeat against recently relegated Leicester City on the opening day of the 2025–26 season.[17]
