Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (Besiktas)
August 2025
Besiktas have sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer just eight months into his tenure after crashing out of the Conference League play-offs to Lausanne. The Norwegian arrived in January on a one-and-a-half-year deal but departs following the club’s board decision. A 1-0 home defeat sealed a 2-1 aggregate loss, prompting swift action from the hierarchy. Chairman Serdal Adalı thanked Solskjaer for his service in the official statement. Despite his efforts, poor European results and pressure from fans left the board with no choice.
