Brian Jensen

Career Born in Glostrup, before joining Brøndby IF. After a loan spell at Helsingør IF, Jensen got his breakthrough as a defender in Brøndby, and he made his Danish national team debut in June 1991. In his first time at Rennais, Jensen was a mainstay in the defence, as the club finished 13th of 20 teams in the 1994–95 season. In the summer 1995, Jensen signed a three-year contract with Rennais, and was named team captain. With Rennais' purchase of French international defender Jean-Pierre Cyprien in the summer 1995, Jensen was dropped from the starting line-up halfway through the 1995–96 Ligue 1 season. In the summer of 1996, a number of clubs were reportedly interested in signing Jensen, including FC Lugano, Stoke City, Udinese Calcio, FC Utrecht, and Troyes AC, but they could not overcome the economic demands of Rennais. In the final stage of the 1996–97 Ligue 1 season, Rennais were in danger of relegation. Jensen was brought back into the starting formation, and helped the club stay in the top-flight league.

In the summer 1997, Jensen left Rennais for rival team AS Cannes, signing a two-year contract. Though he played 17 league games for Cannes in the first half of the 1997–98 Ligue 1 season, Jensen and his family never adjusted to life in Cannes, and wanted to return to Denmark in February 1998. Within a month, Jensen signed a two-year contract with defending Danish champions Brøndby IF, who bought him for 300.000 French franc. Having played 13 Superliga games for Brøndby, at age 31. Jensen played a total 166 first team games for Brøndby IF in all competitions.
