Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in Final Talks to Become Besiktas Manager
The former Manchester United coach is negotiating an 18-month deal with the Turkish club, which has struggled in the league this season.
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, former Manchester United player and coach, is in advanced discussions to take over as Besiktas' head coach.
- The Norwegian manager has been out of coaching since leaving Manchester United in 2021.
- Besiktas has been without a permanent coach since Giovanni van Bronckhorst was dismissed in November 2024.
- If finalized, Solskjaer will lead a team currently in sixth place in the Turkish Super Lig, 20 points behind league leaders Galatasaray.
- The move sets up a potential rivalry with fellow former Manchester United manager José Mourinho, who currently manages Fenerbahce.
