The 52-year-old took charge of the Istanbul club in January and steered them to a fourth-placed finish last season. But after defeat by Swiss side Lausanne in the Conference League play-offs on Thursday meant the club would not be playing European football this season, the club dismissed the Norwegian. They said: "Our contract with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been terminated following a decision made at a board meeting. "Following the meeting, our chairman, Serdal Adalı, thanked Solskjaer for his services to date." Besiktas were knocked out of Europa League qualifiers by Shakhtar Donetsk. Nuri Sahin, the former Borussia Dortmund player and manager, has been linked with the job.

The already-cautioned Alexander Jensen was caught scrambling in his own box as David Miculescu snuck in behind to scoop up a searching ball, which, on review, struck the hand of the Aberdeen defender. After a lengthy delay it was deemed a second bookable offence and a penalty – though it appeared harsh given the close proximity and speed the Dane was dashing back at. "It's not an excuse but [the penalty] is a tough one and of course, it changes the dynamic of the game," Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin told BBC Scotland. "Over the two games, we get punished but we can't punish them, that's the difference." Captain Darius Olaru struck from the spot and sucked the life out of what had been a promising showing from the Dons. Having recovered from two goals down in last week's first leg at Pittodrie, Thelin's side started brightly in Bucharest and seemed the more likely to take the lead in the tie. Ester Sokler, whose late header ensured the Dons came into the second leg level, should have scored inside two minutes but his close-range effort was agonisingly weak. Even so early on, there was a sense that chance would haunt Aberdeen. And it did. The competitiveness of the first half was ceased in that single decision, and though FCSB were under no threat in the second half, Adrian Sut's superb strike squashed any lingering home nerves before Olaru added a deflected third. Aberdeen will now play in Europe's third-tier competition – and will learn their opponents in tomorrow's draw at 12:45 (BST) – while FCSB will enjoy the Europa League.

The England captain did score from the spot in the 16th minute to put Bayern ahead and take his record to 31 consecutive penalties scored since the 2022 World Cup. He had another chance to score a penalty in the 76th minute, but this time his effort was saved by Florian Stritzel, who then denied Kane from a follow-up header and shot. At that stage the game was 2-2, with Michael Olise having added to Kane's first-half goal before two goals in six minutes by Fatih Kaya levelled it up. However, Kane had the final say when he struck the winner in stoppage time. The draw for the second round takes place on Sunday.

Before the match, head coach Martin insisted everyone at Rangers was "calm" amid a troubling start to the season, but many fans will be anything but with Celtic set to visit Govan on Sunday. A calamitous opening eight minutes in Belgium epitomised Martin's alarming introduction as boss, with Rangers on the way to a five-goal deficit by half-time. His team failed to deal with another cross as Nicolo Tresoldi's diving header burst the net, and Max Aarons was sent off three minutes later for inexplicably dragging down Christos Tzolis after a simple punt sliced through the defence. Captain Hans Vanaken was then able to power home a header from a corner before the clinical hosts smashed in three goals in six minutes in a savage first-half finale. Joaquin Seys finished on the rebound and caressed in a sublime volley, with Aleksandar Stankovic nodding in a free header just before the half-time whistle. Among Brugge's 19 first-half shots, Tzolis and Vanaken crashed stunning efforts off the crossbar and goalkeeper Jack Butland was called into action on multiple occasions. Martin reshuffled his team into a 5-4-0 shape at the break, but that did not prevent the sensational Tzolis squeezing through the backline and clipping in a sixth just five minutes after the interval. Thankfully for Martin and his players, Brugge eased off somewhat in the remainder of the contest, but that will do little to quell the fury among the Rangers support, who have watched their team win just three times in 10 games this term. The harrowing margin of defeat equals Rangers' 6-0 loss to Real Madrid in 1963 and the 7-1 defeat to Liverpool in 2022.

The loss against League Two opposition marks a new low for the Premier League side under Amorim and any optimism evident prior to the new campaign is already dissipating. United, who trailed 2-0 after 30 minutes and could have found themselves three goals down in the second period, lacked any rhythm in an abject showing before Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire delivered late goals to take the tie to penalties. However, after Matheus Cunha missed the opportunity to win the shootout for United with the final kick of the regulation five, every subsequent player scored until Mbeumo hit the bar to settle the shootout 12-11 in the hosts' favour. Reflecting on the defeat, Amorim said: "I think this is a little bit the limit. I think something has to change. "I think the team and the players spoke really loud today, so that's it. [Tonight] I think the best team won, the only team that was on the pitch. "I think it's really clear what they spoke, so let's move on from this day. I think it was clear for everybody what happened today. "The way we start the game without any intensity, we were completely lost. "In this moment, we need to focus on the weekend and then we have time to think." United, the 20-time English champions, finished 15th last season in their worst league campaign since being relegated in 1974. Now one of their only two realistic opportunities to win a trophy this season has disappeared following one of the worst results in the club's history. Amorim made eight changes from the side that drew 1-1 at Fulham on Sunday, but he still named a line-up packed full of internationals and worth hundreds of millions of pounds. Benjamin Sesko made his first United start after a £74m move from RB Leipzig, while Andre Onana had an evening to forget on his return to goal.
