Ole Gunnar Solskjaer set for Norway return in coaching role

Manchester United's former striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is to return to his native Norway to coach Molde, the club where he started his professional career, after signing a contract yesterday.

Solskjaer, 37, played for Molde between 1994 and 1996 before joining Premier League giants Manchester United where he played until 2007.

After retiring because of recurring knee problems, the player dubbed "the baby-faced assassin," became a reserves coach with Manchester United.

During his international career he scored 23 goals in 67 appearances and 126 playing for Man United.

Bankrolled by Norwegian businessman Kjell Inge Roeke, Molde finished 11th in the 16-team Norwegian league which ended last Sunday, just missing relegation.

Solskjaer's arrival next season coincides with the club's 100th anniversary.
