Pål Henning Albertsen (born 4 December 1975) is a retired Norwegian football goalkeeper and later goalkeeping coach.
He grew up in FK Vidar and became a youth international.[1][2] In 1996 he was loaned out to Eliteserien club Strømsgodset.[3] This season Strømsgodset encountered a number of goalkeeper problems, heavily stricken by injuries, the team used both Pål Henning Albertsen, Glenn Arne Hansen, Roar Gulliksen, Per Øyvind Dahl, Tom Nilsen and Jon Knudsen.[4] In Albertsen's three matches, Strømsgodset conceded 14 goals.[2] Albertsen nonetheless made a permanent move to Strømsgodset.[5] In 1998 he wanted regular first-team play and went on to Ullern IF,[6] only to return to Strømsgodset post-season.[7] This did not last long either as he moved back to Oslo and FK Oslo Øst in 2000. After a few months he moved on to Kjelsås.[8][9]
In 2002 Albertsen began a new chapter as player in Larvik clubs, first for Larvik Fotball, then after that became defunct, IF Fram Larvik.[2] In September 2006 he made his debut for FK Tønsberg.[10] Ahead of the 2007 season his contract was not renewed, so he took a job as goalkeeping coach of Stabæk.[11] In Stabæk he coached Jon Knudsen, one of the many Strømsgodset goalkeepers in 1996, who now reached the national team, praising Pål Henning Albertsen's input in the process.[12] At the same time Albertsen played on the fourth tier for Svarstad IL in Lardal outside of Larvik, but here he was sacked in May 2007 for erratic on-pitch behaviour.[13] He retired, but in 2011 and 2012 he was effectively Stabæk's third-choice goalkeeper,[12] appearing in a pre-season friendly[14] as well as for their B team.[2] Job-wise, in 2013 he moved back to Larvik as director of sports in Fram Larvik.[15] In 2013 he appeared as a player for seventh-tier team Nanset IF, and in 2014 he made one emergency appearance for Fram Larvik.[2] He was behind the signing of former Stabæk player and manager Petter Belsvik as new Fram Larvik manager in 2014.[16] In late 2015 he signed as goalkeeper coach of Henan Jianye in China,[17] He lasted until April 2016, returning to a civic job in Norway.[18] In 2017 and 2018 he was the goalkeeper coach of Strømsgodset.[19][20] In 2019 he became the new managing director of the handball club Larvik HK, taking over for Petter Belsvik.[21]
