Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been sacked by Besiktas after the club failed to qualify for the Europa Conference League.
Turkish giants Besiktas were beaten 2-1 on aggregate by Swiss side Lausanne-Sport in their Europa Conference League play-off tie.
The first leg in Switzerland ended 1-1 but Besiktas were unable to make home advantage count as Solskjaer’s side lost 1-0 at the Tupras Stadium.
Arsenal academy graudate Nathan Butler-Oyedeji fired Lausanne-Sport in front and Besiktas were unable to respond after Felix Uduokhai was sent off.
Boos rang out as Besiktas’ European aspirations were prematurely ended and the club quickly made the decision to sack Solskjaer.
