It was between Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick when Ruben Amorim was removed from Old Trafford at the beginning of January. Solskjaer had previously shown what he can achieve as Man Utd manager, Carrick had tested himself as an assistant coach and a brief stint as interim head coach when Solskjaer was sacked in 2021. The choice fell on Carrick, and the rest is history. Now many are waiting to see Solskjaer’s next move. It could come in the Premier League.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knew what a witch’s cauldron he was jumping into when he signed with Besiktas in January 2025, but it still sucks when you get fired from status as a long-term coaching solution after 29 games. The history of the proud Turkish big club in recent years shows that 221 days as Besiktas coach were actually of the longer stays.

Now it could be a return to the ball island for the United legend. We remember when Solskjaer was spotted at a Premier League match between Ipswich and Wolverhampton a few years ago, and the English media interpreted it as Solskjaer being considered as the new Wolves manager. It turned out that “our man” was going to attend an Ipswich match with friend and former assistant coach of Kieran McKenna as head coach.
Now Mckenna has stepped down as Ipswich manager after leading the club back to the Premier League, it was time for a break. According to the BBC , Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been called in for talks.

The BBC reports Solskjaer and Strasbourg coach Gary O’Neil are top candidates for the job. O’Neill has two brief coaching jobs at Bournemouth and Wolverhampton behind him, but cannot match Solskjaer’s experience and delivery as Manchester United manager – and relationship with successful coach McKenna.
