Solskjaer off to Turkey in first job since Man Utd axe

Besiktas, who have won the Turkish title 16 times, are currently sixth in the standings and have been without a permanent head coach since Giovanni van Bronckhorst left in November.

"We believe Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will make significant contributions to our club, and we warmly welcome him to the Besiktas family, wishing him great success," Besiktas said in a statement on Saturday.

Besiktas are 28th in the Europa League standings, a point off the play-off places, with two games left to play in the league phase.
