Ole’s at the wheel! Manchester United officially announce that current caretaker manager and former striker, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, has been appointed as the club’s full-time manager on a three-year contract.
Solskjær
scored 126 goals in 366 appearances for United between 1996 and 2007
and also managed the club’s reserve team until the end of 2010. He was
appointed caretaker manager on 19 December 2018 and won his first eight
games in charge on the way to an overall record of 14 victories and two
draws in 19 games, amassing more Premier League points than any other
club during that time.
“From the first day I arrived, I felt at
home at this special club,” said Solskjær. “It was an honour to be a
Manchester United player, and then to start my coaching career here. The
last few months have been a fantastic experience and I want to thank
all of the coaches, players and staff for the work we’ve done so far.
This is the job that I always dreamed of doing and I’m beyond excited to
have the chance to lead the club long-term and hopefully deliver the
continued success that our amazing fans deserve.”
Ed Woodward,
Executive Vice Chairman, comments: “Since coming in as caretaker manager
in December, the results Ole has delivered speak for themselves.
“More
than just performances and results, Ole brings a wealth of experience,
both as a player and as a coach, coupled with a desire to give young
players their chance and a deep understanding of the culture of the
club. This all means that he is the right person to take Manchester
United forward.
“I want to thank Ole and the coaching team for everything they have done so far and congratulate him on this richly deserved appointment. The fans and everyone at the club are behind him as he looks to take us where we need to be and build the next stage of our history.”
