Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar has become manager of this shocking Premier League club today!

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now the odds-on favorite to get a new job and return to football after being out for two and a half years after leaving Manchester United.

Manchester United fired the Norwegian in November 2021, after a 4-1 loss at Vicarage Road to Watford.

Since then, he hasn’t played football. He says he’s had many offers to come back, including two from Saudi Arabia, but he wanted to wait for the right time.

If you asked Solskjaer’s fans to name the perfect job for him, they might not have thought of the job as manager of the Republic of Ireland following Stephen Kenny’s firing in November.

But one of Solskjaer’s old Manchester United teammates, John O’Shea, has taken over as temporary manager.

United greats Steve Bruce and Roy Keane have been at the top of the odds for a few weeks now, but Solskjaer has seemingly appeared out of nowhere to take the top spot.

That’s what Betfair says; they have the Norwegian at 3/10 odds to become the boss of the Republic of Ireland.

He used to be available at odds of 80/1, which means that the 51-year-old’s chances have changed a lot.

There is no sign that Solskjaer has talked with the FAI, so it is not clear why the team changed its mind.

However, people who back Ireland have said that he is one of their top choices for the job.
