Sven-Goran Eriksson delivers final goodbye and admits how he wants people to remember him
Sven-Goran Eriksson revealed his diagnosis of terminal cancer back in January - and the former England manager has opened up on his "good life" while also discussing his high-profile affairs

Gazing over at a peaceful lake in his Swedish homeland, Sven-Goran Eriksson feels an inner calm amid the turmoil of his pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

And the 76-year-old tells how the still waters could be his final resting place – before he goes on to deliver a poignant goodbye message as his time on Earth nears its end.

Sven says: “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.

“I hope you will remember me as a positive guy trying to do everything he could do. Don’t be sorry, smile. Thank you for everything, coaches, players, the crowds, it’s been fantastic. Take care of yourself and take care of your life. And live it. Bye.”

The emotional moment is the climax of an incredible new Prime Video documentary in which former England manager Sven reflects on his life and an incredible football career that took him across the globe, winning an army of fans along the way. He also fulfilled his dream of managing Liverpool, taking charge of the Reds for a legends game against Ajax in March.

Despite overseeing a squad often referred to as the 'Golden Generation' - featuring stars like Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, and Ashley Cole - England were eliminated at the quarter-final stage in each competition.

Eriksson's personal life often made headlines during his time as England manager, with his affairs becoming the subject of much public attention.

His high-profile relationship with glamorous socialite lawyer Nancy Dell’Olio was frequently in the spotlight, along with his flings with TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson and FA secretary Faria Alam.

Sad news, SGE coached Lazio to the Scudetto in 2000, his assistant was Roberto Mancini.

Milan have gotten off to a horrid start, their defense is weak with Kalulu moving to Juve. Napoli appeared to have recovered after their opening day loss.

Could Juventus be the club to stop Real Madrid? They are off to a sizzling start, 6 goals for, no conceded. The average age of the club is 24.

We'll know this weekend if Juve are for real, they go against Roma.

In their first two matches Juve has been dominant. So much so that their new starting goalie Michele Di Gregorio has had nothing to do. Former goalkeeper Woijciech Szczesny has announced his retirement.


Thiago Motta has two Champions Cups to his name (2006, 2010).

I hope you've regained your mobility jalimon.

Juve just got stronger, they are talent rich already. Il Governante is probably still in Zandvoort.


Not sure if he'll see action against Roma.

Madrid dropped two more points at Las Palmas. Their equalizer came by a dubious penalty. Having star players doesn't guarantee success after all.

Inter clobbered Atalanta 4-0 today. I'm surprised, I though Atalanta would be better. Two goals by Thuram.

Barcelona 7 - Real Valladolid 0
Barcelona is scoring like Real Madrid were supposed to. Interesting.

What a fisco! Victor Osimhen was still under contract, proposed deals with Barcelona then Chelsea fell through. Now Conte has banished him to Galatasay.
