Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær is on the verge of returning to the dugout, this time as the new head coach of Turkish giants Beşiktaş. The Norwegian coach, alongside his agent Jim Solbakken, is set to fly to Istanbul on Friday to finalize the deal.
The contract, which will run until June 2026, marks a significant step for both Solskjær and Beşiktaş. The club is looking to restore its dominance in Turkish football, and Solskjær’s leadership and experience are expected to play a pivotal role in achieving that goal.
Beşiktaş fans have reacted with excitement to the news, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the man known for his calm demeanor and tactical knowledge. Solskjær’s track record of nurturing young talent and his ability to inspire teams make him a promising fit for the Black Eagles.
Solskjær, who has been out of management since leaving Manchester United in 2021, expressed his enthusiasm about the new challenge. “I’m thrilled to join a club with such a rich history and passionate fan base. I look forward to working with the team to achieve great things,” he reportedly said.
An official announcement is expected once the final details are completed in Istanbul. Stay tuned for updates as Solskjær takes the next step in his managerial career with Beşiktaş.
