Jens Gjesing (Danish: [ˈjens ˈke̝ːse̝ŋ]; born 13 January 1986) is a Danish football manager and former player who manages VSK Aarhus in the Danish 2nd Division, the third tier of the Danish football league system.
Gjesing mainly played for AGF during his active career for whom he made 137 appearances and scored nine goals. He was, however, injury-prone as a player, and retired in 2012 while representing Hobro IK, after failing to recover from successive cruciate ligament injuries. After his playing career, Gjesing has pursued a managerial career.
He was an established member of the Denmark under-21 team from 2007 to 2008, earning 14 caps in which he scored one goal. He was part of the team that reached the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification play-offs, which were lost over two legs to Serbia under-21.
