Ole Gunnar Solskjær begins new chapter as Beşiktaş manager | OneFootball

Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær is beginning a new chapter in Türkiye after signing a contract with Beşiktaş on Friday.

The 51-year-old Norwegian boss will manage the Süper Lig side until 2026 as he guides them through domestic competitions and the Europa League this season.

Solskjær has been without a coaching role since he departed from Old Trafford in 2021.

"It's great to be here, it's very nice to see so many people that care about this fantastic club," said Solskjær on his arrival.

"For me, I've had a very nice first meeting with the members of the board here and I'm really looking forward to this. It's fantastic to be in the beautiful city as well."

He will join fellow former United boss Jose Mourinho in the Süper Lig, with the Portugueuse manager in charge of Fenerbahçe.
