Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sacked by Besiktas after Convention League play-offs defeat


Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been sacked by Turkish club Besiktas.

The 52-year-old took charge of the Istanbul club in January and steered them to a fourth-placed finish last season.

But after defeat by Swiss side Lausanne in the Conference League play-offs on Thursday meant the club would not be playing European football this season, the club dismissed the Norwegian.

They said: “Our contract with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been terminated following a decision made at a board meeting.

“Following the meeting, our chairman, Serdal Adalı, thanked Solskjaer for his services to date.”

Besiktas were knocked out of Europa League qualifiers by Shakhtar Donetsk.

Nuri Sahin, the former Borussia Dortmund player and manager, has been linked with the job.
