Kjell André Thu

Kjell André Thu (born 8 July 1984) is a Norwegian football manager and former player.

Thu was a regular player for Norway U18 and U19 in 2002 and 2003. He was a squad member for the 2003 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.

Thu started his career in FK Ørn Horten, and reached the First Division with the team. He got a chance in Eliteserien for Sandefjord before returning to the First Division with Skeid and Sarpsborg 08.

Thu became co-coach of Ørn Horten with Trym Bergman in 2016, and sole manager from 2017. Thu became noticed as a manager when leading Ørn Horten to promotion from the 2021 3. divisjon and survived in the 2022 2. divisjon. He then took over Egersunds IK, and immediately won promotion from the 2023 2. divisjon.

After a period away from club football he took over FK Jerv in June 2025. Ahead of the 2026 season he took over Stabæk. He was then dubbed a "miracle man" in local media, because when Thu managed Egersund, his team managed to bounce back from a 4–0 deficit to win 4–5.
