The Turkish former big club Beşiktaş has sacked manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and is heading towards his eighth manager in just over two years.
Earlier tonight on Saturday, Beşiktaş lost their qualification to the Conference League at home to Lausanne, a pill too big for a club management that is quick to sack coaches.

Beşiktaş lives in a dream world, where they don’t realize it takes time to build up a club that is broken.
Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, known for his legendary performances as a player for the club – including scoring the decisive goal in the 1999 Champions League final and helping the team secure the Treble – was until tonight in charge of Turkish giants Beşiktaş. But now it’s over.
The season that ended with a fourth place in the Süper Lig, and as a result, Beşiktaş had to qualify for the Europa Conference League this summer.
There, however, they failed. Complete.
In the play-off draw, Beşiktaş faced Swiss side Lausanne, and the first leg in Switzerland ended 1-1 last week. Ahead of the second leg, Beşiktaş thus had an advantage – but instead they lost 0-1.
Nathan Butler-Oyedeji gave the Swiss the lead in injury time in the first half. When Beşiktaş chased the equalizer in the second half, full-back Felix Uduokhai received a direct red card, which reduced the team to ten men.
Solskjaer’s men then failed to recover with one man less. The result was that there will be no more European games for Beşiktaş this season. Which must be considered a failure.
Later in the evening, Beşiktaş announced on their website that Solskjaer had been sacked. The decision was made at a board meeting after the game.
Former Sirius midfielder Jamie Roche plays for Lausanne and got to play the entire match in Istanbul.
Now that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is available on the market again, the manager who has delivered best for Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson can finish what he started a few years ago.
