E be like say Scottish side Rangers don dey look Ole Gunnar Solskjaer direction as dem dey find new manager wey go help dem chase trophy and restore glory for Ibrox. The former Manchester United coach wey still dey without job since e commot for Old Trafford don enter Rangers shortlist, and talk dey say discussion fit soon start.
Since Solskjaer leave Man United for November 2021, many clubs don try contact am, but the Norwegian dey always take him time before e accept any offer. Now, with Rangers wahala for form and fans don dey complain say team no get clear direction, e be like say the time don reach for Ole to return to dugout.
For Scotland, Rangers and Celtic na two clubs wey dey rule everything, but this season Celtic don dey move mad again while Rangers dey struggle to keep pace. Dem don change manager before, but results still no sweet the fans. Some supporters believe say na time to bring person wey get big experience for European level and Ole name dey fit the bill.
Solskjaer get serious experience both as player and coach. As player, e be Manchester United legend wey score the winning goal for 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich. As manager, e lead United reach Europa League final, finish second for Premier League one season, and e also help plenty young players shine. Even though some people go always say e no win trophy, nobody fit deny say e sabi build team wey dey play with unity and spirit.
For Rangers side, dem need exactly that unity, discipline, and sense of direction. This season alone, the team don drop valuable points for league, and for Europe dem performance no too ginger anybody. Fans don begin para say dem need change before things go scatter completely. Some people even talk say appointing Ole go bring small global attention back to Scottish football, because the man still get name and respect everywhere.
But the big question na whether Solskjaer go gree come Scotland. The man bin talk some months back say e no go rush into any job wey no make sense. E wan wait for the right project place wey e go fit build long-term plan. Rangers fit just be that place, because the club get solid fanbase, rich history, and structure wey still dey among the best for UK.
Financially, e go depend on whether dem fit afford am. Rangers no be club wey dey throw money anyhow, but for right coach dem fit stretch small. Dem know say if Ole enter, e fit attract players wey normally no go reason Scottish league. Even sponsorship and attention fit increase.
For the fans wey don dey remember Ole for his “baby-faced assassin” days, dem dey excited say e fit finally come show him managerial skills again. Some dey already imagine am for Ibrox touchline with blue suit, shouting instructions and smiling when Rangers score. Others dey still reason whether him calm style go fit survive the pressure wey come with that job because Rangers fans no dey get patience at all.
Whether this deal go happen or not, one thing sure: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer name don re-enter football gist again. If Rangers serious, dem go act fast before another club carry am. Because once season enter second half, clubs go begin sack coaches anyhow.
So for now, Rangers fans fit just dey hope say the rumour go turn reality. Maybe, just maybe, the “Smiling Assassin” fit bring that Old Trafford magic come Ibrox and return dem to the top of Scottish football once again.
Na so we see am. ⚽
