Besiktas have put an end to their search for a coach with the addition of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their new head coach. The Norwegian strategist has signed a contract for a year and a half, covering the remainder of the current season and one more. With this move, the Turkish club hopes to turn around its performance.
Solskjaer, remembered for his time as the manager of Manchester United between 2018 and 2021, returns to the sidelines after a three-year period dedicated to analysis work for UEFA. During his tenure at the English club, he demonstrated the ability to manage high-level squads, excelling particularly in European competitions. Now, the Norwegian will face the challenge of returning the Black Eagles to the forefront of Turkish and continental football.
He was not the first choice, but he meets the requirements of Besiktas
Initially, the Besiktas president had discussions with Roberto Mancini, but the negotiations did not succeed due to economic differences. Faced with this situation, the board opted for Solskjaer, who brings experience and a fresh perspective to lead the project.
The Norwegian arrives with the mission to strengthen the team both in the Turkish Super Lig and in its international aspirations. Besiktas fans trust that his experience and leadership can make a difference in the club's performance, which is at a crucial moment in the season.
