Kim Johannesen (born 18 July 1979) is a Danish former handball player

He started his career at TMS Ringsted before joining Viborg HK in 2006. [1] In 2007 he extended his contract until 2011, [2] but already in 2010 he returned to TMS Ringsted. [3]

In the winter of 2012 he was injured, but kept on playing through his injuries. In August 2013 the injury required surgery, which kept him out for more than 5 months. [4] This prompted the club to use a clause in his contract to fire him in February 2014. [4] Johannessen responded by taking the club to court over an unlawful dismissal. [5] The court found that the firing was legal, except for the fact that it had happened one month too early, and the club had to pay Johannessen a compensation of 23,000 Danish Kroner. [4] Many Danish handball players, including Henrik Møllgaard and Søren Tau spoke out against the firing. [6] Afterwards he joined Team HK Køge in the 2. Division, the third tier of Danish handball. [4] [7]
