Solskjaer’s contract terminated after Besiktas crash out of Conference League

Besiktas have terminated Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s contract after the team was eliminated in the Conference League play-offs.

Solskjaer only joined the Turkish giants in January this year.

The Norwegian signed a one-and-a-half year contract, but has only lasted eight months in the job.

The decision to sack him was taken by Besiktas’ board following their exit from the Conference League play-off round.

Besiktas lost the second leg of the tie 1-0 at home on Thursday as Lausanne qualified for the league phase, winning the fixture 2-1 on aggregate.

“Our contract with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been terminated following a decision made at the board meeting,” an official statement read.

“Following the meeting, our chairman, Serdal Adalı, thanked Solskjaer for his services to date. We respectfully present this for the public’s information.”
