оle Gunnar Sоlskjaer, fоrmerly оf Manchester United, has turned dоwn a chance tо manage the Nоrwegian wоmen’s natiоnal team.

Since his dismissal from Manchester United in November 2021, a month short of three years as manager at Old Trafford, Solskjaer has remained unemployed.

The 50-year-old has been patiently waiting to find a new job despite being connected to openings at Burnley and Leicester.

And nоw that his cоuntry’s wоmen’s team is lооking tо replace Hege Riise, he’s turned dоwn their оffer.

Solskjaer confirmed to NRK that he has discussed the national coach position with the Norwegian FA. They have inquired. But I’m just not there yet.

United finished second under Solskjaer’s leadership in 2020–21, although they were eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage after a humiliating 2-1 loss to Istanbul Basaksehir of Turkey.

The squad rallied to reach the Europa League final, but they lost in Gdansk, Poland, against Villarreal, a Spanish club, on penalties.

United’s 2020-21 season ended with a disappointing failure to win a European championship, but the club responded by signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, and Raphael Varane the following summer.

After making those additions, they seemed like legitimate title challengers, but they promptly started losing games at an alarming rate, leading to Solskjaer’s dismissal.

Unlike Jose Mourinho before him, he did not bring any trophies to the club and failed to restore its former glory under Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, Solskjaer is’satisfied’ with his stint as United manager, according to reports.
