Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer has reportedly rejected the chance to become head coach of the Iranian national team due to 'other priorities'.
The Norwegian was sacked by the Red Devils back in November following a dismal run of results. Having overseen back-to-back Old Trafford maulings to Liverpool and Manchester City, the final straw came when Solskjaer's United were humiliating humbled 4-1 by Watford at Vicarage Road.
The 49-year-old's dismissal arrived a matter of months after United had rewarded him with a three-year deal on the back of guiding the club to a second-placed finish the season before. After eight months without job, Solskjaer is now thought to have been offered a route back into management, however it seems the former striker has snubbed the opportunity.
