From: SBS The World Game
Melbourne Heart FC assistant coach and former Ajax favourite Jesper Olsen joins The World Game's online team as its A-League insider.
Olsen, who played 43 times for Denmark, scoring five goals across his 10-year international career, will provide exclusive blogs on the A-League as well as all other aspects of football in his adopted home, Australia, all available at The World Game.
The 49-year-old will provide a unique insight into the workings of the A-League's newest franchise while also giving his thoughts on the competition and the players and teams that compete within it.
"I'm delighted to be working with SBS and The World Game website," Olsen said. "It's the perfect partnership in my opinion.
"The World Game team is unique in having such a wide and deep understanding of football, so to be involved in providing an inside look at the A-League competition and more in my first season here will be a real privilege."
As well as winning the Dutch Double with Ajax in 1982-1983 alongside Johan Cruyff, and the Eredivisie title with the Dutch super club in the previous season, Olsen spent five years at English giant Manchester United, where he scored 24 goals from the left wing and won the 1985 FA Cup.
Olsen will begin writing for SBS on Monday 17 May, ahead of the 2010 World Cup, providing an insight into the world's biggest sporting event through the eyes of someone that played in it.
He was part of the 1986 Denmark squad that became known as the Dynamite Danes, finding the back of the net three times during the tournament, including games against the then West Germany and Spain.
Olsen now has a select group of Heart players to work with, including some of Australia's best local players, such as goalkeeper Clint Bolton, defender Simon Colosimo and strikers Matt Thompson and John Aloisi.
