Similarly to Beckenbauer, Olsen was in many years moved around the pitch and was used in various positions due to his versatility and all-round decent ability. As such, he managed to fill out roles as defensive midfielder, stopper and full back before finally being transferred to a position as libero/sweeper after having reached 30 years of age while playing for Anderlecht. Indeed, this miracolous decision only happened by chance as Morten Olsen initially only was used as cover for an injured team mate. But here, Olsen quickly showed a genuine skill for leading the game from his back four, often utilizing a superhuman ability to go on commando raids up through the length of the pitch and not before long, the spot was his to command. Indeed, it was one of Olsen's mesmerizing bursts of speed which managed to win a penalty against West Germany at Mexico 1986. The penalty was safely converted by Jesper Olsen. As if decided by fate beforehand, Olsen played one of his finest performances in the libero position in this particular game with the master himself, Franz Beckenbauer, standing as idle spectator from his position as West German coach. In the most astonishing of manners, Olsen continued to dominate football pitches around Europe after the World Cup in Mexico as he moved to FC Köln and became an instant favourite after having ''rejuvenated'' the side with his style and leadership. His last heroics with the national team came at EURO '88 in Germany at 38 years of age though he was not able to prevent a young and inexperienced Danish side from crashing out in the group stages. After his retirement in 1989 following a testimony tournament which, featuring Brazil, Denmark and Sweden, also celebrated the Danish football association, DBU's 100th birthday featuring, Olsen became a coach and has since managed Ajax Amsterdam, Brøndby IF and 1. FC Köln albeit being fired all three places after a great start. He has been the coach of the Danish national team since 2000 and will presumably quit in 2010 following the World Cup in South Africa.
