Manchester United has appointed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the club’ s permanent manager on a three - year contract on Thursday , following a highly successful caretaker spell in charge .
The Norwegian has inspired a revival of United ’s fortunes since taking over from the sacked Jose Mourinho in December , winning 14 of his 19 games and leading the Red Devils to the quarter- finals of the Champions League.
Solskjaer, who scored 126 goals in 366 appearances for United , was already a hero to fans as the man who scored the stoppage- time winner in the 1999 Champions League final to complete the treble.
“ From the first day I arrived, I felt at home at this special club, †Solskjaer said in a statement on the club’s website . “It was an honour to be a Manchester United player , and then to start my coaching career here.
“ The last few months have been a fantastic experience and I want to thank all of the coaches , players and staff for the work we’ ve done so far.
“ This is the job that I always dreamed of doing and I ’m beyond excited to have the chance to lead the club long-term and hopefully deliver the continued success that our amazing fans deserve. â€
United ’s executive vice- chairman Ed Woodward said , “ More than just performances and results , Ole brings a wealth of experience, both as a player and as a coach, coupled with a desire to give young players their chance and a deep understanding of the culture of the club.â€
