When the Besiktas gang filmed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on his way into the clubhouse on Friday, it was quite clear that this was a prestige signing. When the Turkish big club has the official presentation on Saturday, it will be with a video presentation that pays tribute to their new boss as a player and coach. Prestige signing? Definitely.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer starts his first day of work with a contract that runs until the end of the 2025/26 season with an option for a further season. The expectation is that Solskjaer can lift Besiktas from the tame 6th place in the Süper lig. Giovanni van Bronckhorst was supposed to do it, but the Dutchman was fired at the end of November.
It is enjoyable to watch the presentation of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, little doubt that the former Manchester United manager is seen as “The Chosen One”.
In the video that gives Besiktas supporters their new head coach, it starts with the first part of his career as a United legend, then his way back to Old Trafford as boss. All accompanied by dramatic drumming in the background.
cult! (although you have to tilt the screen for the video to work optimally).
