Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has found himself on the managerial touchline again, albeit not in the capacity that fans might think.
As reported by The Mirror, the Norwegian has dusted off his tracksuit to take charge of his son Elijah’s U14 team in his native Norway.
It has been almost a year since Solskjaer was relieved of his duties in Manchester.
Ole was sacked after a terrible run of results, in which Liverpool and City dismantled United at Old Trafford, with a humiliating 4-1 loss at humble Watford being the straw that broke the camel’s back.
However, during his period in charge, the club legend oversaw some magical moments.
Charged with lifting the spirits of José Mourinho’s cloud, he opened his reign with an unbeaten streak of eleven games, winning ten.
A couple of wins at the Etihad and the incredible comeback in Paris will live long in the memory.
Furthermore, the 2019/20 campaign saw Solskjaer guide his team throughout the season without losing an away game.
The icing on the cake would have come in the 2021 Europa League final. United failed to lift the trophy after losing a marathon penalty shootout against Villarreal.
Solskjaer has kept his mouth shut about his future plans since leaving the club, having been linked with a couple of Premier League jobs during that period.
The Norwegian is regularly seen in Manchester, watching his daughter, Karna, represent United’s women’s team. Karna made her debut with the club in January this year.
Forever in the hearts of United fans, it would be great to see Ole back behind the wheel in the near future.
