He is the son of former Vålerenga player Terje Olsen.[2]

After the 2008 season, his contract with Aalesund was not renewed. He initially contemplated retirement,[3] but in late December he was signed by SK Herd together with former teammate Karl Oskar Fjørtoft.[4] From 2012 he continued to play in the lower divisions of Møre og Romsdal.[5]

Embarking on a manager career, he remained as junior and B team coach in SK Herd.[6] He managed Averøykameratene in 2018 before moving on to Tomrefjord.[7] He was hired in IL Valder on a two-year contract ahead of the 2021 season, but was fired after relegation from the 2021 4. divisjon.[8]
