When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signed for Besiktas, there were many who thought this was committing sporting “harakiri”. This was a club that was characterized by financial limitations, frequent changes of coach and lack of patience for the coach for long-term work. Solskjaer came back into the ring, showed he can win several of the biggest games, but after seven months, the Besiktas boss pressed the panic button. Too many as expected. We loved that Solskjaer threw himself into this witch’s cauldron of a challenge, but don’t like that “our man” is now being linked to a Premier League club. Here, seven months in the job is a long time for a coach.
Sean Dyche was given 114 days as Nottingham Forest manager, Ange Postecoglou was given 39 days before he was sacked. Prior to that, Nuno Santo had led Forest in three games this season (a total of 21 months in the job). According to the ink Sun , the betting industry now has Solskjaer as one of the top candidates to take over the job as Nottingham Forest manager.

In addition to Solskjaer, Vitor Pereira, Enzo Maresca, Sam Allardyce and Thomas Frank are mentioned as potential candidates.
With Forest owner, Greek billionaire Evangelos Marinakis, who seems to have it as a “sport” to fall out with his coaches, Solskjaer should steer far, far away.
Viaplay’s football expert Lars Tjernås says it would be crazy, but that he thinks Solskjaer would be interested in the job. This is a club with great resources, is attractive, traditional with a solid squad, are the arguments for choosing the job.
We choose to highlight two main arguments for Solskjaer to steer clear: Forest owner Marinakis’ notorious impatience for quick results and four different coaches during the same season.

Now it looks like it has already been decided that Pereira will throw himself in as Forest coach for the rest of the season. We just say: Good luck.
