Who we are
LUKE TORJUSSEN, FOUNDER.
Luke has spent over twenty years in soccer, coaching across three countries and working with players at every level — from grassroots to elite academies, US high schools, US colleges, and professional men’s and women’s teams. Growing up in England, he pursued the game as a player before realizing his true calling was in guiding others to reach their potential. That journey has taken him from youth development in the U.S. to leading academies and senior teams in Europe, where he helped produce talent that went on to play in the Premier League and other top divisions.
Luke lives in Oslo, Norway, where he became head of a renowned academy before stepping into senior coaching, where he has coached men’s and women’s teams at the highest level for nearly a decade. His experience includes working with some of Europe’s brightest young prospects, supporting a historic men’s promotion campaign, and coaching one of the youngest professional women’s teams in Europe to top-flight competition. Alongside his practical coaching, Luke holds UEFA A and Player Development Licenses and is currently completing his UEFA Pro License.
Through Euro Soccer Consultancy, Luke brings this experience and global network together to support players, coaches, clubs, schools, and organizations. His mission is to share knowledge, develop talent, and connect the soccer community through education and opportunity.
Euro Soccer Consultancy Group (ESC) is built on decades of combined experience in the soccer world. Our founders are passionate about helping coaches and players excel, drawing on years as players, coaches, and close collaborators with athletes and mentors at every level. We’re excited to bring this opportunity to elevate the game for all.
