Jon Dahl Tomasson (born 29 August 1976 in Copenhagen, Denmark) is a Danish football manager and former player, who is currently working for the Danish football team as an assistant manager. Tomasson is of Danish, Finnish and Icelandic heritage and was known for his positional strength and fine finishing as a forward, despite his lack of notable pace or physicality. His most notable run of football came in his first stint at Feyenoord, with whom he won the 2002 UEFA Cup, and Italian club Milan, with whom he won the 2003 UEFA Champions League and reached the final in 2005. He was also honoured with the Danish Player of the Year award in both 2002 and 2004.
Born in Copenhagen, son of Bjarne Tomasson and Leila Dahl Petersen. Tomasson first started playing football as a five-year-old in the youth team of Solrød BK near Køge. At nine years of age, he moved to the biggest club in the area; Køge BK. In November 1992, aged 16, he made his senior debut for the club. During the next two years he helped the club to get promoted two times in a row. First time by the end of the 1993 season, where the club qualified from the lower league Denmark Series to the 2nd Division; and by the end of the 1994 season the club once again qualified to play the next season in the 1st Division (the second tier of Danish football).
