Sven-Göran Eriksson (5 February 1948 – 26 August 2024) was a Swedish football manager and former player.
After an unassuming playing career as a right-back, Eriksson went on to experience major success in club management between 1977 and 2001, winning 18 trophies with a variety of league clubs in Sweden, Portugal and Italy; he became the first manager to conquer league-and-cup doubles in three countries. In European competition, he won both the UEFA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup (the last edition of the latter trophy before its abolition) and reached the final of the European Cup
He later managed the national teams of England, Mexico, Philippines and the Ivory Coast, as well as two clubs in England. Eriksson has worked in ten countries: Sweden, Portugal, Italy, England, Mexico, Ivory Coast, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, China and the Philippines.
Personal life[]
Eriksson's autobiography, My Story, was published in November 2013. He married Ann-Christine Pettersson in July 1977. They filed for divorce in 1994. They have two children.
In May 1998, Nancy Dell'Olio was introduced to Eriksson, and they began a relationship six months later. In 2001, they relocated to London. In the beginning of 2002, Eriksson had an affair with television presenter Ulrika Jonsson, but he returned to Dell'Olio. In August 2004, Eriksson had an affair with secretary Faria Alam. Dell'Olio was upset, but chose to stay with Eriksson. The couple eventually split up in August 2007.
In October 2016, Eriksson announced he was to take legal action against Mazher Mahmood on the basis that the January 2006 News of the World story had cost him the England job.
In January 2024, Eriksson announced that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer with "at best about a year to live".
