After a brief hiatus from the world of football management, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eager to make a comeback. The former Manchester United boss has been in discussions with a Premier League club, as he sets his sights on a new challenge. It has been almost a year since Solskjaer left his position at United in November of 2021. Since then, he has turned down numerous offers from clubs and national teams, but now he is ready to step back into the spotlight.
The 51-year-old had recently missed out on the opportunity to manage Besiktas, but it seems he may have found a new opportunity with recently-promoted Leicester City. According to reports, the Foxes have reached out to Solskjaer after their former manager, Enzo Maresca, left to take over at Chelsea. Solskjaer has been on Leicester's radar for quite some time, with chairman Top Srivaddhanaprabha being a big admirer of the Norwegian's managerial abilities. In fact, he was considered for the job last summer when Dean Smith departed.
While there have been no official talks just yet, Solskjaer is expected to be one of the top candidates on Leicester's shortlist. The club is still on the hunt for a new manager and is reportedly also looking at former Chelsea boss Graham Potter and Steve Cooper as potential options. It seems that Solskjaer's return to management is imminent, and it could be with a promising team like Leicester.
Solskjaer originally took over at Manchester United in 2018, replacing Jose Mourinho as caretaker manager. He made an instant impact, leading the team to a full-time contract and impressive finishes in the Premier League. However, after a string of disappointing results, including five defeats in seven games, he was let go following a 4-1 loss to Watford. Since then, he has been working for UEFA as a technical observer.
As for Leicester City, they have been diligently searching for a replacement for Maresca, who left them in a precarious position. The club has shown ambition in the past, and with Solskjaer's track record, he could be the right man to lead them forward. It remains to be seen if Solskjaer will take on the challenge, but it seems that he is eager for one more opportunity to prove himself as a successful manager.
