Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Set to Join Besiktas

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in the final stages of negotiations to become the new head coach of Turkish club Besiktas, marking his return to management after leaving Manchester United in November 2021. The club confirmed ongoing talks with Solskjaer, who has reportedly agreed to an 18-month contract and is set to observe Besiktas' upcoming match against Samsunspor before officially taking over. Besiktas, currently in sixth place in the Super Lig, hopes Solskjaer can revive their fortunes following the dismissal of Giovanni van Bronckhorst last month. His first match in charge is expected to be a Europa League clash against Athletic Bilbao on January 22. This appointment could reignite the rivalry with Jose Mourinho, who manages Fenerbahce and is also a former United boss. Solskjaer's previous managerial experience includes a notable stint at Manchester United, where he guided the team to a second-place Premier League finish and a Europa League final appearance.
