After leaving Old Trafford in November 2021, Solskjaer was unemployed and rejected a number of offers, both at the club and national team levels.

Solskjaer's managerial experience has been quite slick since handling a professional team in 2011. Manchester United is the only big club he has ever held.
He entered Old Trafford in December 2018 replacing Jose Mourinho as a caretaker. His contract was then permanent for Manchester United in March 2019 after leading the team to 14 wins in 19 matches.
Solskjaer was awarded a permanent contract with a duration of three years. He became the actor who brought Manchester United to finish third in his first full season, 2019-2020. In addition, the Red Devils reached the semifinals of the FA Cup and Europa League.
The following season, Manchester United will finish the season as runners-up under rival Manchester City.
Solskjaer also brought United to be runners-up in the 2020/2021 Europa League after losing in the final against Villareal.
This two-season slick performance -- back-to-back at the top of the Premier League -- comes first since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
Unfortunately, Solskjaer was issued in November 2021, aka his third and final season after Manchester United finished sixth in the Premier League.
He was linked with filling the seat of Canadian national team manager. However, the offer was rejected.
Currently, the Norwegian manager has expressed his desire to return to the club's seat.
