“Svennis” has not coached any club since 2019.
Now the icon can return to the coaching staff – and is said to be very interested in taking over a big club.
Sven-Göran Eriksson is undoubtedly one of Sweden’s foremost sports leaders of all time. Not many have achieved such great success during his career, and he has become a real Swedish football icon.
Mighty career
He has coached several major European clubs, and won titles on the biggest stage. “Svennis’ journey began in IFK Gothenburg towards the end of the 70s – and the Swede’s efforts there really resonated in the football world.
The icon eventually ended up in Benfica where he led the club to two league titles. But perhaps his greatest merit is still the time in Lazio where he led the Italian team to its first league victory in over 26 years. After the turn of the millennium, he has coached clubs such as Manchester City and Leicester, but has also had a number of national team assignments such as England, Mexico and Ivory Coast.
Can take over the big club
His most recent assignment was in the Philippines in 2019, but after he had to leave the assignment, he has been without a job. Now, however, the Swede can make an unexpected comeback.
“Svennis” has reached the age of 74 but is still hot on the market. According to information to Polish Sport Interia, he is very interested in taking over the Polish big club Lech Poznan, and according to the site has sent in his CV.
Lech Poznan went different ways with coach Maciej Skorza earlier this week due to personal reasons, and “Svennis” can now become his successor.
