Mourinho meets Solskjaer again in the 'life and death' match

Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer face off, this time not in England but in Türkiye in the big match between Fenerbahce and Besiktas on May 4.

Solskjaer could shatter Mourinho's dream of winning the Turkish championship this season.

Four years after their last confrontation and public criticism, Mourinho and Solskjaer are set to reunite on the coaching bench. The pair once had a fierce argument over raising their children, and now they are reunited with vital goals in the final stages of the season.

The two former MU coaches have two opposite styles. One is fiery and charismatic (Mourinho), the other is calm and humble (Solskjaer). But both are facing a turning point in their careers and this big match could be an opportunity for them to prove themselves.

Mourinho and Solskjaer rekindled a controversial feud during their time in England. In 2021, after MU's 3-1 win over Tottenham, Solskjaer criticized Son Heung-min for diving, causing Edinson Cavani's goal to be disallowed.

He declared: "If my son rolled around like that and called all his friends, I would starve him." Mourinho then responded harshly: "Son is very lucky to have a better father than Ole. As a father, you have to feed your son, even if you have to steal."

Four years have passed, but that "verbal fight" is still one of the unforgettable memories in both of their careers in the land of fog.

Solskjaer has now helped Besiktas revive, climbing from 7th to 4th in the Turkish Super League and has a chance to qualify for the Europa League. Meanwhile, Mourinho is under pressure to win to keep his title hopes alive as Fenerbahce are 5 points behind Galatasaray with only 5 rounds left in the season.

Before the match, both sides cooled down the tension. Solskjaer affirmed: "This is not a match between me and Jose. This is a match between two big clubs, and the players are the ones who decide the result. I respect Jose, not many coaches are as successful as him."

Late on May 4 ( Hanoi time), the spotlight shines on Istanbul as two great personalities of European football reunite. Solskjaer may be planning for a draw, but for Mourinho, only victory is enough.
