'''Per Joar Hansen''' (born 17 August 1965) is a Norwegian [[soccer|football]] coach. He grew up in the small community of [[Trofors]] in [[Nordland]]. He played for and managed [[Rosenborg BK]], and he has managed [[GIF Sundsvall]], [[Aalesunds FK]], [[Ranheim Fotball|Ranheim]] and the [[Norway national under-21 football team|Norwegian under-21 football team]].

==Club career==
Known by the nickname "Perry", he began his career in the lower flight clubs of [[Mosjøen IL]] and [[Steinkjer FK]], before enjoying a brief spell at [[Rosenborg BK|Rosenborg]] from 1987 to 1989. He contributed to Rosenborg winning [[Double (association football)|The Double]] in 1988. He then went on to play in lower divisions for [[Umeå FC]], [[Stjørdals-Blink]], [[Strindheim IL]] (first tier in 1995), [[Byåsen IL]], [[Fram Skatval]], and actually serving as player-manager from 1995 in Strindheim, Byåsen and [[IL Varden|Varden]].

==Managerial career==
From the late 1990s "Perry" first joined the coaching staff of Rosenborg, but went on to Swedish top flight club [[GIF Sundsvall]] in the autumn of 2001 where he enjoyed great success in his first season.

After just avoiding relegation in 2003, he resigned from the club and returned to Rosenborg, turning down the job as manager of Swedish champions [[Djurgårdens IF Fotboll|Djurgården]] of [[Stockholm]].  He was assistant manager to [[Ola By Rise]] during the not too impressive 2004 season, and he was appointed manager going into the historic start of the [[Royal League]], which was not a successful competition of Scandinavian football.

Considered by the press as only the third best man for the position, he led Rosenborg into a difficult reconstruction process, seeing the stem of the team closing in on retirement from professional football. Halfway into the 2005 season, he resigned after a string of bad results, and was immediately replaced by [[Per-Mathias Høgmo]].

Hansen signed a two-year contract with the [[Adeccoligaen]] club [[Aalesunds FK]] on 6 December 2006. Aalesunds got promoted to [[Tippeligaen]] the following year. He left Aalesunds and returned to GIF Sundsvall in December 2007. He was the manager there until 2 October 2008, when he got fired. From the 2009 season, he coached [[Ranheim Fotball]] in the Adeccoligaen. During the [[2010 Norwegian First Division|2010 season]], he was head of a coaching team including [[Otto Ulseth]] and [[Christer Basma]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nettavisen.no/sport/fotball/article2767421.ece|publisher=Nettavisen|title=Basma til Ranheim|date=27 November 2009|language=Norwegian|access-date=30 November 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103080035/http://www.nettavisen.no/sport/fotball/article2767421.ece|archive-date=3 November 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

He began 2011 managing the [[Norway national under-21 football team]]. On 16 October 2012, the team qualified for the UEFA European Under-21 Championship with an astonishing 5–4 aggregate win over France. His assistant manager [[Tor Ole Skullerud]] led the team to the semi-finals, as he returned to Rosenborg for his second spell as manager of the club.

In September 2021, Hansen was hired by Swedish club [[Östersunds FK]]. He left it at the end of the year, as the club only gained 5 points in 13 games under his helm and was relegated from the top-tier [[Allsvenskan]].<ref>{{cite press release|publisher=Östersunds FK|url=https://ostersundsfk.se/ofk-och-per-joar-hansen-gar-skilda-vagar3/|title=ÖFK OCH PER JOAR HANSEN GÅR SKILDA VÄGAR|date=25 November 2021|access-date=18 April 2022|language=sv}}</ref>
