During his active career, he started as a youth player for hometown clubs Skovbakken and AGF before helping Aarhus Fremad reach promotion to the Danish Superliga.[2] In 1998, he signed with Lyngby Boldklub before moving to Mechelen in Belgium.[3] After three tumultuous seasons there where he was demoted to the reserves and did not receive months worth of pay,[4] he ended his career in Iceland with Þróttur where he played for two years.[5] He scored 75 goals in all Danish divisions during his tenures for Fremad and Lyngby.[2]
After his active playing career, Hermansen started coaching local Copenhagen-clubs Vanløse and Skovlunde,[6] before becoming a renowned youth manager, having coached Lyngby U17 as well as various national youth teams.
