A few hours after being officially appointed as Manchester United head coach with a 3-year contract, Ole Solskjaer immediately announced his big plans to do with the "Red Devils", reviving the club's spirit.
The first goal is to regain position in the domestic arena, specifically the Premier League championship. The last time M.U won the championship was 6 years ago. According to what the "Red Devils" leadership wants, the Premier League is an immediate goal that needs to be achieved, then gradually considering a return to the European arena.
"The Premier League title is very important for us. Raising the championship trophy is very familiar to the team, but right now, the whole team needs to do everything to regain that feeling.
If I had to choose something before leaving this position, I would have liked to win the Premier League. That achievement will make everyone feel proud.
We have waited for the championship for too long, but sometimes, things are not as simple and easy as a night dream. Manchester United is a successful team but to regain the club's spirit, everything needs to be done step by step.
I always wait to see the image of the team's players enjoying the championship feeling.
The reason for that goal is because M.U's recent achievements have returned well. The winning rate in the Premier League has improved significantly, which is extremely important because only those numbers can determine whether the set goals are achieved or not.
And if you have faith, confidence, solidarity combined with a hard-working attitude, good results will come.
This is my last dream. You may think it is innocent, but I always hope to contribute and work responsibly for this big family. It is an honor to be here and move forward with everyone.
All I can promise is to try to stay myself in all circumstances. I will be the best Ole, a combination of two hard-working and optimistic people," Solskjaer shared.
A few hours after announcing Solskjaer's contract, Manchester United also revealed the remuneration that this strategist received. As expected, the number is not high, stopping at 7 million pounds/year. This is reasonable because before having a great time with M.U in the past 3 months, Solskjaer was still an average coach.
The most important thing for Ole at the moment is that he has kept assistant Mike Phelan, Sir Alex Ferguson's once powerful right-hand man.
