Troels Bech (born 29 July 1966) is a Danish football manager and a former player, who managed Odense BK to the 2002 Danish Cup trophy. He was the manager of Danish club Esbjerg fB until November 2008 and took over Danish club Silkeborg IF in January 2009. During his active career, he most prominently won the 1994 Danish Superliga championship with Silkeborg IF.
He is currently working as sports director for Brøndby IF
Born in Svendborg, Bech started his career in Svendborg fB in the secondary Danish 2nd Division under manager Viggo Jensen. In 1987, Bech moved to Germany to play for Greuther Fürth in the Bayernliga. He played seven league games for Greuther Fürth as a midfielder, before he moved back to Svendborg. In 1988, Bech was reunited with Viggo Jensen, when he moved to play for Danish top-flight club Silkeborg IF.
In his first years at Silkeborg, Bech played as a central defender. He took most of Silkeborg's set pieces, and managed to score four goals in two games during the 1990 season; three penalty kicks and a goal directly on corner kick. Still a part of the team, Bech eventually found himself as a left defender. He won the 1994 Danish Superliga championship with Silkeborg, before ending his playing career later that year. At 27 years of age, he was declared medically unfit to play football, due to a recurringly injured Achilles tendon.
