Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has died at the age of 76, it has been announced. He had been battling pancreatic cancer.
In a statement his agent said: "Sven-Göran Eriksson has passed away. After a long illness, SGE died during the morning at home surrounded by family. The closest mourners are daughter Lina; son Johan with wife Amana and granddaughter Sky; father Sven; girlfriend Yanisette with son Alcides; brother Lars-Erik with wife Jumnong. The family asks for respect for their wish to mourn in private and not be contacted. Condolences and greetings can be left on the website www.svengoraneriksson.
Speaking at the end of Amazon Prime Video documentary ‘Sven’ he said recently: “I had a good life. I think we are all scared of the day when we die, but life is about death as well. “You have to learn to accept it for what it is. Hopefully at the end people will say, ‘yeah, he was a good man’, but everyone will not say that.
Eriksson became the first foreign England manager when he was appointed in 2001 and subsequently led the team to the quarter-finals of two World Cups and one European Championship. He was in charge of England for five years before leaving after the 2006 World Cup.
