We’re rooting for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. At the same time, the Man Utd legend has taken on a job where expectations are huge, while patience is short. It was a sour 2-0 defeat in the first Europa League qualifier against Shakhtar Donetsk, but we think Solskjaer with a proper pre-season and some solid reinforcements has equipped Besiktas to do more than beat Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in individual games. Now it is reported that the Besiktas management has the replacement ready if the “Eagle of the North” does not lift the game.
According to the hyperactive transfer journalist Romano, Besiktas have the list ready with candidates to replace Solskjaer “if necessary”. And at the top of this list is the coach who was fired at Borussia Dortmund after six months in the coaching job. Nuri Sahin is said to be a top candidate, the Turkish coach has been without a job since he was sent to the Bundesliga club in January.

The former Dortmund player, with appearances for the Turkish national team, has led Antalyaspor before a few months at Dormtund.
It’s noted, Romano, but we firmly believe Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will pull this off for Besiktas.
