Solskjaer was sacked as manager of English second tier side Cardiff City in September last year after overseeing their relegation from the Premier League.

The 42-year-old had joined the Welsh outfit in January 2014 after leaving Molde, where he won the Norwegian Premier League twice and the Norwegian Football Cup once in his three years at the helm.
