    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has officially taken over as head coach of Turkish giants Besiktas, marking his return to football management in the Turkish Süper Lig.

    This move places him in the same league as fellow former Manchester United manager José Mourinho, who currently leads Fenerbahçe.

    The Norwegian tactician has signed on to lead Beşiktaş until 2026, overseeing both their domestic league and UEFA Europa League campaigns. This new chapter in Solskjaer’s career comes after a distinguished journey as both a player and a manager.

    Best known for his time at Manchester United, Solskjaer earned the nickname “The Baby-faced Assassin” for his clinical goal-scoring prowess, contributing to the team’s success in the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League. As a manager, he guided Manchester United from 2018 to 2021, further cementing his reputation in the sport.

    Upon his arrival, Solskjaer expressed excitement about the opportunity:
    “It’s great to be here. It’s very nice to see so many people who care about this fantastic club. I’ve had a wonderful first meeting with the board members, and I’m really looking forward to this. It’s fantastic to be in this beautiful city as well.”

    Fans are eager to see how Solskjaer will adapt to Turkish football and bring his tactical acumen to Beşiktaş. With Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe also vying for dominance, the Turkish Süper Lig promises to deliver a thrilling battle between two high-profile managers.
