Martin Bentzen Veng Mikkelsen (born 29 April 1986) is a Danish football coach and former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He is currently the assistant manager of Odder IGF.

Playing career[edit]

Coaching career[edit]

On 11 August 2019, Mikkelsen returned to FC Fredericia.[5] Two weeks later, he was also hired as a youth consultant at Danish 2nd Division club VSK Aarhus.[6]

He left Fredericia in June 2020, and signed with Aarhus Fremad in the Danish 2nd Division, where he would become a player-assistant to head coach Morten Dahm Kjærgaard.[7][8] He retired as a player in July 2021 to focus full-time on his role as assistant coach of Aarhus Fremad.[9] On 14 June 2022 Mikkelsen confirmed, that he accepted an offer to become the manager of Aarhus Fremad's reserve team, which was playing in the Denmark Series.[10] However, he would still serve as assistant coach for the first team alongside the new position.
