During the 1949–50 season Juventus Football Club competed in Serie A.

Summary

The team clinched its 8th title despite a colossal 1–7 home defeat against Milan with a superb hat-trick of Swedish striker Gunnar Nordahl. The championship was a reward to chairman Gianni Agnelli who built this team buying Danish players unknown at the time. In the summer he transferred in an Argentinian midfielder Rinaldo Martino from San Lorenzo to boost the club performance.^[2]

In this season, Jesse Carver replaced fellow Englishman William Chalmers as head coach of Juventus, and a less rigid and physically demanding training schedule paid off for Hansen. In the club, Hansen had an irreplaceable partner in another Danish player from the 1948 Olympics team, Karl Aage Præst. Præst was a left winger with electric dribbling skills who scattered opponents through the field and produced precise crosses to Hansen, who netted them thanks to his violent and accurate headers.^[3] Juventus won the 1949–50 Serie A championship with Hansen scoring 28 goals in 37 games.^[4]
