Jorgen Nielsen is a Danish former footballer and coach.

Gombak United

A handball player in Denmark, Nielsen went to Singapore to work in the shipping trade. [1] When Gombak United went from amateur to professional status, they immediately offered Nielsen a contract but he was uncertain and was not able to envisage success as a footballer. [1] In the end, the Dane decided to join the club and after two years there, was offered the Gombak United manager job. [1] The former striker accepted the contract, [1] overseeing the Singaporean outfit's sales, salaries, sponsorship, merchandise, expenditures, and development of a fan club- [1] quitting the position in April 2001. [2]

While playing for Gombak, Nielsen got permanent residency in Singapore, allowing them to register him as a local rather than foreign footballer [3] and recording four goals in his last season there. [4]
