Ole Gunar Solskjaer was one of Jose Mourinho's successors on the Manchester United bench, but the Norwegian did not make a name for himself at the club where he had the best days of his career. Solskjaer was fired from United, and four years later, he found his new job. The Norwegian was idle for years, looking for the right career option.
Ole signed a contract until 2026, and he could not hide his emotions immediately upon signing the contract. Solskjaer is eager to start working, showing his coaching skills.
"I am very happy to be here. It's great that so many people welcomed me here, because it shows how much they love this club. I can't wait to start, it will be fantastic in this big city", said the Norwegian.
Besiktas is not excelling this year, considering that they are sixth in the table. The leaders Galatasaray have an advantage of 20 points, and the imperative of this club will obviously be the fight for Europe. Turkish club is in a crisis, hoping that Ole Gunnar could be the right person to solve these problems within the club.
Jose Mourinho vs Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
That's why the derby matches with the third Istanbul giant could be much more satisfying, because Jose Mourinho is sitting on the Fenerbahce bench, and it was Solskjaer who succeeded him at United. And we all know how much Mourinho doesn't like it when he gets fired. Although it should be said that Solskjaer only had words of praise for the experienced Portuguese.
The leaders of Besiktas are aware that this team can hardly match giants like Galatasaray or Fenerbahce, but they hope that the coach could revive the team and add two important players to this team. Besiktas wanted the Norwegian years ago, but no agreement was reached. This is third time lucky, and perhaps the beginning of success for the Turkish club.
Let's remind you that before United - with whom he once won second place in the Premier League and played in the Europa League final - Solskjaer also managed Swedish Molde and Cardiff City.
