The world of football mourns the passing of Sven-Göran Eriksson, one of the most iconic coaches of his generation.
Having died at the age of 76 due to incurable pancreatic cancer, the former coach, who also led Roma for three seasons, from 1984 to 1987, taking over from Nils Liedholm, leaves a deep void in his heart of thousands of enthusiasts.
The news was communicated by the manager’s family, who asked to respect their privacy in this moment of pain.
Eriksson, with a career that spanned prestigious clubs and national teams, will be remembered for his successes, including the UEFA Cup triumph with Gothenburg and the numerous national titles won with Benfica and Lazio.
His playing style and his ability to manage teams have made him a reference figure in the international football scene.
