Ex Man U Coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjær Appointed Beşiktaş Head Coach Until 2026

Ole Gunnar Solskjær has been officially appointed as the new head coach of Beşiktaş, signing a contract that extends until June 2026. This marks Solskjær's return to management after his departure from Manchester United in November 2021.

The 51-year-old Norwegian manager is set to arrive in Istanbul on Friday to commence preparations for Beşiktaş's upcoming UEFA Europa League match against Athletic Bilbao next week. During his tenure at Manchester United, Solskjær led the team to a second-place finish in the Premier League and reached the Europa League final. 

Prior to finalizing the agreement with Solskjær, Beşiktaş had engaged in discussions with Roberto Mancini; however, financial terms could not be agreed upon, leading the club to secure Solskjær's services. Beşiktaş is currently positioned sixth in the Turkish Süper Lig and aims to improve its standing under Solskjær's leadership.
