Legendary coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has died at the age of 76, the media in England reported.
In January this year, he said he had at best a year to live after being diagnosed with cancer. The Swede kept the news a secret for a long time, even from his family, so he could spend more time with them. A few days ago, the manager said goodbye to the world with a touching letter, hinting that he was living his last moments.
The Swede, born in 1948, was the first foreign coach of the English national team, leading to 3 major tournaments between 2001 and 2006.
In his career, Eriksson has managed 12 clubs, including Manchester City, Leicester, Roma and Lazio, winning 18 major trophies. | BGNES
