Beşiktaş dismissed head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after elimination from the UEFA Conference League playoffs following a 1-0 home defeat to Lausanne. Lausanne, owned by INEOS, secured a 2-1 aggregate victory after Nathan Butler-Oyedeji scored in first-half stoppage time and Beşiktaş’s Felix Uduokhai received a second-half red card. The club’s board convened an emergency meeting and announced Solskjaer’s departure, thanking him for his services and wishing him well. Solskjaer had been appointed in January in his first managerial role since leaving Manchester United in November 2021 and led Beşiktaş to a fourth-place finish last season.
Besiktas have sacked former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after they were knocked out of the UEFA Conference League playoffs by Lausanne. Besiktas were beaten 1-0 at home by the INEOS-owned Lausanne on Thursday night, with former Arsenal striker Nathan Butler-Oyedeji scoring the only goal in first-half stoppage-time before Besiktas had Felix Uduokhai sent off early in the second half, giving Lausanne a 2-1 aggregate win.
"After getting knocked out of UEFA Conference League tonight, Beşiktaş Board of Directors held an emergency meeting and decided to part ways with Head Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer," Besiktas said in a statement. "The Board also thanked Mr. Solskjaer for his services to Beşiktaş and wished him luck in his future career." Solskjaer took charge of the Super Lig club in January -- his first coaching role since leaving Man United in November 2021 -- and guided them to fourth at the end of last season.
