Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly in talks with a Premier League club as he eyes a return to management. The former Manchester United boss has been out of work since parting ways with the Red Devils in November 2021. During his time at United, Solskjaer guided the club to back-to-back top-four finishes and a Europa League final. Since then, he has been linked with several roles, including the Republic of Ireland job, but has bided his time for the right opportunity.
According to reports, Solskjaer could be in line to take over at newly-promoted Leicester City. The Foxes are in search of a new manager after Championship-winning boss Enzo Maresca departed for Chelsea. Solskjaer is said to be keen on the idea of managing Leicester, and his experience in stabilizing United could be valuable as the Foxes face an uncertain future on and off the pitch. The Norwegian has also been working as a UEFA technical observer, attending Champions League fixtures and providing reports.
If appointed, Solskjaer would link up with veteran forward Jamie Vardy, who recently signed a one-year contract extension. Solskjaer’s potential return to management comes after he opened up about his time at United, including his decision to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo, which he now believes was the wrong choice.

Solskjaer’s potential return to management is an intriguing prospect, and it remains to be seen if he will indeed take the reins at Leicester or if another opportunity arises. The 51-year-old has a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success, and his next move will be closely watched by football fans and pundits alike.
