Ex-England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson says he has cancer, at best a year to live
Ex-England football manager,Sven-Goran Eriksson has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has at best, maybe a year to live.
The 75-year-old Swede, who has managed a slew of high-profile teams and took England to World Cup quarter-finals in 2002 and 2006, announced in February last year that he was stepping back from public appearances due to health issues.
Eriksson said in his doctor’s assessment, he has at best maybe a year, and at worst a little less to live.
Born February 5, 1948 in Sunne in western Sweden, Eriksson, found success as a football manager after retiring from a modest career as a defender.
In 1977, he became manager of Swedish club Degerfors IF, and led the small club to success in lower divisions, before attracting the attention of bigger clubs.
