Playing career

On 11 August 2019, Mikkelsen returned to FC Fredericia. Two weeks later, he was also hired as a youth consultant at Danish 2nd Division club VSK Aarhus.
He left Fredericia in June 2020, and signed with Aarhus Fremad in the Danish 2nd Division, where he would become a player-assistant to head coach Morten Dahm Kjærgaard. He retired as a player in July 2021 to focus full-time on his role as assistant coach of Aarhus Fremad. On 14 June 2022 Mikkelsen confirmed, that he accepted an offer to become the manager of Aarhus Fremad's reserve team, which was playing in the Denmark Series.

In July 2023, Mikkelsen joined Odder IGF as assistant coach to Jacob Eichner. In July 2025, Mikkelsen extended his contract with Odder until June 2027 and would, along with Eichner, form a head coach duo. One month later, in August 2025, Eichner left the club for VSK Aarhus, and Mikkelsen consequently took over the head coach role at Odder on his own.
In January 2026, Mikkelsen was appointed manager of Aarhus Fremad's U-23 team.
