Turkish side Besiktas have appointed former Manchester United player and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær as head coach, the club has confirmed.
“We believe Ole Gunnar Solskjær will make significant contributions to our club, and we warmly welcome him to the Besiktas family, wishing him great success,” a Besiktas statement said.
Solskjær played 366 times for United between 1996-2007, scoring 126 goals.
He returned to Old Trafford as interim manager in 2018, taking over from Jose Mourinho.
After an impressive start, Solskjær was given the role full time in 2019, but was sacked in 2022 following a poor run of results.
Solskjær takes over at Besiktas with the club in sixth place on the Turkish Super Lig table.
The appointment means Solskjær is the second former United manager to take charge of a Turkish side, with Mourinho managing Fenerbahce.
