Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been out of work since he was sacked by Besiktas last summer, but the former Manchester United manager has now been linked with a new job

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might be offered an opportunity to make his Premier League comeback as newly-promoted Ipswich Town search for Kieran McKenna’s successor.

McKenna, who had served under Solskjaer at Manchester United, confirmed his departure from Portman Road last week. His exit arrives just weeks after steering the club to a third promotion in five years, though the Tractor Boys will require a new figure to spearhead their survival bid.

Solskjaer has been without a role since his dismissal by Besiktas in August last year. However, he has now emerged as a contender for the vacant position at Portman Road.

The Norwegian was touted for a return to Manchester following Ruben Amorim’s sacking. However, the club ultimately opted for Michael Carrick instead.

Solskjaer would undoubtedly welcome an opportunity to demonstrate his credentials in the top division after a disappointing conclusion to his spell at the Reds. Before that, he had taken the reins at Cardiff City, though ultimately oversaw the club’s drop into the Championship.

He continues to harbour ambitions of a managerial comeback, and the BBC reports that both he and Gary O’Neil are among the names under consideration by Ipswich. O’Neil is currently at the helm of Strasbourg.

He has caught the eye of those at Portman Road after demonstrating a proven ability to keep Premier League sides out of trouble. His first managerial role was with Bournemouth, where he steered them to safety in 2023.

He then moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers, taking charge on the eve of the season, yet still guided the club to a 14th-place finish. McKenna’s departure from Suffolk came amid strong speculation linking him with the Fulham vacancy following Marco Silva’s exit.

However, the 40-year-old insists he left to take a break away from the sport to spend more time with his family. “It is with a mixture of gratitude, pride, sadness and contentment that I have decided to step down from the honour of managing this historic football club,” McKenna said.

“When you have the connection that we have built at this club, there is never a good time to say goodbye. However, having achieved a second promotion to the Premier League last season, with another memorable final day in our stadium, and after reflection over the last couple of weeks, I feel this is the right time for me to step aside.

“I do so with great pride at the incredible progress we have made and with huge hope and optimism for the future of the club. After giving so much to the role over the previous five seasons, I now look forward to taking a break from management and dedicating some time to my family, who have been with me every step of my career so far.”

Jaron Ennis is set to challenge for the unified super-welterweight world title this month, hoping to kickstart an undisputed title run, and Terence Crawford has shared whether he believes ‘Boots’ can capture all four belts at 154lbs.

Ennis claimed both the IBF and WBA world titles at welterweight, previously held by Crawford, and moved up to the super-welterweight scene back in October, where he halted Uisma Lima in the first round to announce himself as a threat to the throne.

Now, in just his second fight at the weight, Ennis is set to collide with unified WBA and WBO world champion, Xander Zayas, and Crawford told Jai McAllister that expects his fellow American to come out on top.

“Man, that is a tough fight, especially for Xander at this point in his career, but it shows his heart and his confidence that he has in himself. He is ready to go make history for his country and he is going to do real well in that fight.

“I just think that, right now, it is a little bit too early for him.”

Should Ennis be able to hand Zayas a first career defeat and claim the unified titles, the remaining champions, Josh Kelly (IBF) and Sebastian Fundora (WBC), will be his next obstacles.

Crawford believes that the road to undisputed for ‘Boots’ would likely end with Fundora.

Zayas-Ennis takes place on Saturday, June 27, at the Barclays Center in New York. Fundora comes off a stoppage win over Keith Thurman and is set for his next defence later this year, though no opponent has been named as of writing.

Kelly is expected to make his first defence of his IBF belt against Belfast’s Caoimhin Agyarko on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga on July 25.

Former NBA star Michael Beasley dropped a bombshell revelation on his Instagram stories on Tuesday. According to Beasley, Kim Davis, his current agent, has stolen “every penny” from him.

According to realgm.com, Davis has represented several basketball players. However, Beasley and Sebastian Telfair are the only ones in her client list who are easily recognizable by NBA fans.

Beasley put Davis on blast online and called her out.

“kim davis has stolen every penny i currently have!!! every penny!” Beasley posted. “i’m not looking for pitty because i know it’s my fault for trusting but forgive i just didn’t know another way!!! i’ve been thuggin the last few years and if it’s in gods will to continue than it shall continue but i’m here with my son and he doesn’t deserve that!

“kim we supposed to speak at 3am and if you don’t help me figure it out then i’ll post every screen shot i have because you are starting to looking like a liar”

Throughout his NBA career, Beasley has worked with various sports agents. In his rookie year, the former Kansas star was with Joel Bell. However, he parted ways with the agent and his advisor, D.C. Assault director Curtis Malone.

Beasley also worked with Charles Briscoe of Briscoe Sports Group in 2022. That was the time that the 6-foot-10 forward tried to make an NBA comeback.

However, that did not work out well, and he has not played in the league since the 2018-19 season.

Michael Beasley’s Honest Thoughts on Ending His NBA Career at 30

Michael Beasley’s career was filled with ups and downs. He was drafted No. 2 in 2008 by the Miami Heat and immediately showed promise. However, he never blossomed into a star player and bounced around the league.

After the 2018-19 season with the LA Lakers, no team gave him another chance, and the NBA moved on without him. When he appeared as a guest on “Club Shay Shay” in April, he said his honest thoughts about retiring after 30.

“I don’t care about this social media s**t. I don’t care about these podcasts or these Big3s. I was just — I was just happy being depressed about not being in the NBA,” he said.

“Kevin Durant still playing and I’m a year younger than him. You don’t think I want to still be — you don’t think I still — yes, absolutely. I was — yeah — heartbroken.”

Michael Beasley and Kevin Durant grew up together in Maryland and evolved into basketball stars. However, their careers have been different. Beasley hasn’t played in the NBA for years, while Durant is still active and is still considered to be one of the best active stars.
