Sven-Göran Eriksson, the legendary football manager, fulfilled a lifelong dream by managing Liverpool in a legends game at Anfield.
Now, as he faces a terminal cancer diagnosis, Eriksson is preparing to step back from public life.
In his new documentary, Sven, the 76-year-old reflects on his life and career with a poignant message: “I hope you remember me as someone who always tried his best. Don’t be sad—smile. Thank you to everyone—coaches, players, fans—it’s been an incredible journey. Take care of yourselves and your lives, and live them fully.”
