Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly rejects offer to become Denmark’s head coach.
Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has declined the role of Denmark’s national team coach, opting to explore negotiations with a top club instead. The Danish Football Association (DBU) had approached Solskjaer to replace Kasper Hjulmand, but he turned down the opportunity, as reported by Danish outlet, Tipsbladet. DBU director of football Peter Møller refrained from commenting on the situation, adhering to the organization’s policy regarding potential candidates. Solskjaer has expressed a desire to return to Manchester United if possible. His decision means he will not be coaching United players Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Højlund during Denmark’s upcoming Nations League matches against Spain and Switzerland, with Lars Knudsen stepping in as interim coach. Solskjaer’s future in management remains unclear, but his choice indicates a potential return to club football.
