This week, it was revealed that the 75-year-old former football manager, Eriksson, is battling cancer, a condition deemed inoperable as he disclosed to MB5 Malaysia. Despite the challenging health news, Eriksson, a lifelong Liverpool fan, openly expressed his unwavering allegiance to the club, reiterating a sentiment he had shared in the past.
During an interview on best online casino in Malaysia, Eriksson shared his deep-rooted connection to Liverpool, stating, "My father is still alive and is still a Liverpool supporter, and I’m a Liverpool supporter as well – I’ve always been." Despite acknowledging a lifelong dream of managing Liverpool, he acknowledged with a brief laugh that it would remain unfulfilled.
In 2010, he elaborated on this aspiration, revealing his consistent support for Liverpool even during his tenure as the England national team manager.
I have been a Liverpool fan all of my life. I never mentioned it when I was in charge of England because I didn’t think it was fair. I was shocked when I discovered Rafa Benítez had left. Would I want to be the manager of Liverpool? It is every manager’s dream to manage Liverpool. Liverpool matches were televised quite regularly and we would cheer them on. They have always been my team, and nothing has changed.
While Eriksson didn't achieve his dream of managing Liverpool, his career boasted success, including six major trophies with Italian clubs and leading IFK Goteborg to UEFA Cup glory in 1982. Despite the absence of a Liverpool managerial stint, some fans have suggested offering him the role of manager for the upcoming Liverpool Legends match against Ajax on March 23 at Anfield.
