Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson revealed that he has been diagnosed with cancer and has a limited time left to live. The 75-year-old Swede, who was the first foreign coach to lead the England national team, shared that he is determined to fight the illness for as long as possible. Eriksson achieved notable success with England, guiding the team to the quarter-finals in multiple World Cups and the 2004 Euros.
Expressing the severity of his condition, Eriksson acknowledged that the best-case scenario gives him around a year, while the worst case may be considerably less. Despite the uncertainty, he emphasized the importance of resisting and not dwelling on the specifics of his prognosis. The veteran football manager, with a career spanning 42 years, disclosed this health challenge after stepping down from his recent position as the sporting director at Swedish club Karlstad.
Sven-Goran Eriksson’s revelation has prompted an outpouring of support and well-wishes from the football community and fans worldwide. His impact on English football and international tournaments is recognized, and many express gratitude for his contributions to the sport.
