Christian Johnsen
Norwegian footballer
Christian Johnsen (born 10 June 1977) is a retired Norwegian football striker and current manager.
Joining Moss FK from Faaberg IL ahead of the 1998 season, he played two and a half seasons for them in Eliteserien and then three and a half seasons in Raufoss IL. After finishing second top goalscorer in the 2003 1. divisjon with 17 goals, he transferred to Örebro SK of Allsvenskan.

In 2017 he became head coach of Raufoss. He soon steered the team to promotion from the 2018 2. divisjon.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Christian Johnsen”, the useful work is to connect “norwegian footballer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3675659. VIAF identifies the subject as 21145971585232332760. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1977, 1998, 2003 and 2017.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
