Former England Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson Dies at 76 After Battle with Cancer
Former England football manager, Sven-Goran Eriksson, has passed away at the age of 76. His family confirmed the sad news on Monday in a brief statement, noting that he died peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones, after a prolonged battle with illness.
“Sven-Goran Eriksson has passed away. After a long illness, SGE died during the morning at home, surrounded by family,” the statement read.
The Swedish football icon had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, a condition he revealed earlier this year, stating that doctors had given him “a year to live, at best.” Despite this grim prognosis, Eriksson remained close to his family during his final months.
Eriksson’s distinguished coaching career spanned decades, during which he managed some of Europe’s elite football clubs. He held managerial roles at prestigious teams such as Benfica, Roma, Fiorentina, Sampdoria, and Lazio.
He also became well-known for his time as the head coach of the England national team, where he left a significant mark on English football.
His death marks the loss of a revered figure in the football world, known for his tactical prowess and his contributions to the sport across various leagues and national teams.
Football legend Paul Scholes shares thoughts on the player that should be replaced at Chelsea.
He stated that Xabi Alonso should replace Robert Sanchez. He revealed this while speaking on what he thinks is holding the club down.
“I think the goalkeeper is a problem there at Chelsea; he’s a liability. He can’t play the way they will want to play. With the way Chelsea will play, I agree. He can’t do it. I’m pretty sure Xabi Alonso will want to play that way, to build out from the back, so he will need a new goalkeeper then.”
Harry Kane has won the European Golden Boot for the second time in his football career.
The award followed his impressive performance in the Bundesliga.
He scored 36 goals in 31 Bundesliga games for Vincent Kompany’s side during the 2025/26 season, collecting 72 points to finish as Europe’s top scorer across all domestic leagues.
It is noted that he finished just ahead of Erling Haaland.
Pep Guardiola reveals why he left Manchester City. It can be recalled that the manager recently left Man City, and now he has revealed his reason during an interaction with reporters.
He shared that he is running out of energy.
“I share the same feeling as when Jurgen Klopp left, I am running out of energy. I feel like I will not have the energy that is required for a game every three days, to fight for titles, being in front of the players every day.”
He then added that he believes the club should have a new manager with fresh energy to direct the team.
