After Solskjaer sent off a fire-breathing Jose Mourinho with a bitter 0-1 home defeat in the city derby, the Fenerbahce coach said that he could beat Besiktas nine out of ten times, this was only bad luck – and the referees’ fault. The Besiktas coach knows Mourinho’s rhetoric and temperament well after now six meetings in total, so the “accusations” did not particularly go into the United legend. He has all his focus on reaching his goal in the Süper Lig, a third place and a Europa League ticket.
Now Solskjaer does not need money motivation to win games, but Besiktas have made sure that the “Eagle of the North” will face an extra nice holiday when 3rd place is secured.

According to the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet, Besiktas have promised Solskjaer he will receive a bonus of 250,000 euros for 3rd place.
With a base salary of €1.2 million for this season (€2.4 million next season), this could add up to solid sums on the Istanbul adventure.
There are now four games remaining, with Besiktas sitting fourth in the Süper Lig with 55 points. Samsunspor are so far clinging to third place with 57 points, but have one more game played.
