Pedersen was the manager of various clubs in Northern Zealand before joining Nordsjælland as youth coach in 2006.{{Cite web |url=https://www.pressreader.com/denmark/ekstra-bladet-tipsbladet/20151225/281767038188787 |title=Profil: Flemming Pedersen |date=25 December 2015 |publisher=Ekstra Bladet |language=Danish |access-date=26 July 2019}} He later became Kasper Hjulmand's assistant in Nordsjælland and Mainz 05 and had a brief spell at Brentford in a backroom role and as B team head coach,{{Cite web |url=https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2016/january/flemming-pedersen-appointed-development-squad-head-coach/ |title=Flemming Pedersen appointed Development Squad Head Coach |website=www.brentfordfc.com |language=en-gb |access-date=22 December 2019}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2016/november/flemming-pedersen-leaves-role-as-b-team-head-coach/ |title=Flemming Pedersen leaves role as B Team Head Coach |website=www.brentfordfc.com |language=en-gb |access-date=22 December 2019}} before returning to Nordsjælland as technical director.{{Cite web |url=https://www.avisen.dk/blaa-bog-fc-nordsjaellands-kommende-cheftraener_539936.aspx |title=BLÅ BOG: FC Nordsjællands kommende cheftræner |date=26 February 2019 |publisher=Herning Folkeblad |language=Danish |access-date=26 July 2019}} In February 2019, it was announced that he would succeed Hjulmand as manager of Nordsjælland in the summer, but when Hjulmand left the club in March 2019, Pedersen was named manager immediately.{{Cite web |url=https://www.tipsbladet.dk/nyhed/superliga/breaking-kasper-hjulmand-stopper-i-fc-nordsjaelland-med-det-samme |title=Kasper Hjulmand stopper i FC Nordsjælland med det samme |date=25 March 2019 |publisher=Tipsbladet |language=Danish |access-date=26 July 2019}}

On 7 January 2023, Nordsjælland confirmed that Pedersen had decided to step down from his head coach position, despite Nordsjælland being in first place in the Danish Superliga. However, Pedersen would continue as part of Nordsjælland's coaching staff for the remainder of the season, in addition to being the technical director of the Right to Dream Academy.[https://fcn.dk/2023/01/johannes-hoff-thorup-ny-cheftraener-i-fc-nordsjaelland/ JOHANNES HOFF THORUP NY CHEFTRÆNER I FC NORDSJÆLLAND], fcn.dk, 7 January 2023
