Staying put: Solskjaer has rejected the Norway
job
Former
Manchester
United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has
turned down the chance to manage Norway.
Solskjaer revealed tthat he was asked to succeed Aage Hareide,
who resigned after eight matches without a win.
But Solskjaer chose to remain on Sir Alex Ferguson's coaching
staff at Old Trafford, where he is currently the reserve team
manager.
He said: 'I did not think it was the right time for me to say
yes to the offer. But of course it was nice to be asked. I work for
Manchester United and my career is going in the right
direction.
'It would have been exciting to take on a much bigger job than
my current job, but I have a job at United.'
Norway have now given the job to former national coach Egil
Olsen for a three-game trial period.
