The Swede has revealed that, at the age of 75, he may have less than a year to live following a terminal cancer diagnosis. He has said: “Everyone understands that I have an illness that is not good. Everyone guesses it's cancer, and it is. But I have to fight as long as I can.”

Eriksson has revealed that one of his biggest regrets is missing out on the opportunity to coach Liverpool. That situation may be about to change, with it reported that he could be handed the Reds’ reins for a Legends tie with Ajax in March.
WHAT ERIKSSON SAID
Eriksson has told when asked about that potential opening: “I didn’t know that, I knew that they have a charity game in March I think it is and my son… I’m invited to see that game and that would be great because there will be a lot of great footballers there but I should be their manager? No, I’ve never heard that.”
