SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON TO BE PART OF LIVERPOOL MANAGEMENT TEAM FOR LEGENDS CHARITY MATCH

Sven-Goran Eriksson will be part of the Liverpool management team for the club’s upcoming legends charity match against Ajax.

The former England manager revealed he has terminal cancer last month and said it had always been his dream to be Liverpool manager.

And, after a campaign launched by Liverpool supporters, the Swede’s wish has been granted.

“Liverpool FC is delighted to confirm Sven-Goran Eriksson will be part of the LFC Legends management team for the game against Ajax Legends at Anfield on March 23,” said a spokesperson for the club.

“The former England boss will join a dugout of Liverpool greats, including Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldridge, for the annual LFC Foundation charity match.

“All connected with the club and LFC Foundation look forward to warmly welcoming LFC fan Sven and his family to Anfield – and seeing him in the dugout on the day – for a fantastic fundraising occasion.”
