Ole Gunnar Solskjaer returns to Molde for second spell as manager

Solskjaer returns to Molde as manager

Former Manchester United forward Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed Molde manager for a second time.

The 42-year-old spent three years in charge of the Norwegian side between 2011 and 2014 before taking the coach's job at Cardiff City.

Solskjaer, who played for Molde for a season before joining United in 1996, lasted just eight months at Cardiff as he was sacked by the Welsh outfit in September last year.

Today, Molde announced that Solskjaer has returned to the club as manager and his first game in charge will be against Celtic in the Europa League on Thursday.

In his first spell at Molde, Solskjaer guided the team to two Norwegian Premier League titles and the Norwegian Football Cup.
