Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has assumed the role of head coach for Turkish giants Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig joining Mourinho in the league.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to return to football management, with reports indicating he will soon take charge of Turkish giants Besiktas. The move marks an exciting new chapter for the Norwegian coach, who will lead the team until 2026, managing both their domestic and Europa League campaigns this season.
Solskjaer’s career has been distinguished both as a player and a manager. His most prominent achievements came during his time at Manchester United, where he spent over a decade as a player and later served as manager from 2018 to 2021.
He earned the nickname “The Baby-faced Assassin” for his clinical goal-scoring ability, winning major honours including the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League. His managerial experience in the Premier League and Norwegian football has further solidified his reputation as a tactician with deep knowledge of the game.
Speaking on his arrival, Solskjaer shared his enthusiasm, “It’s great to be here. It’s very nice to see so many people who care about this fantastic club. I’ve had a wonderful first meeting with the board members, and I’m really looking forward to this. It’s fantastic to be in this beautiful city as well.”
The move places Solskjaer alongside fellow former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, who currently manages Fenerbahçe in the Turkish Süper Lig. Fans are eager to see how Solskjaer adapts to Turkish football and leads Besiktas in their pursuit of success.
