Sven-Göran Eriksson is Sweden’s most famous and experienced football coach ever. During his career, he has coached teams in several of Europe’s biggest football leagues as well as several national teams. Together with the colleague and close friend Thor Grip he has won league and cup titles as well as participated in several World Cup and European Championship finals.
But in addition to football, Svennis has made headlines over the years in other ways.
Among other things, he said that he had been blown out of almost 100 million kroner after taking help from a financial advisor who would help Svennis invest the money. The whole thing must have ended with Svennis not getting a penny back and he was instead forced to sell his luxury farm, Björkefors manor.
Another thing that has received a lot of focus around Svennis has been the women in his life.
He was with the Italian lawyer Nancy Dell’Olio but at the same time had an affair with Swedish Ulrika Jonsson which became news that covered the newspapers around the world.

During the past week, Svennis has The Sunday interview in P1 and told that he was affected by cancer.
One day he had collapsed at home and had to go to hospital. At the hospital, the doctors discovered that he had suffered a stroke and pancreatic cancer. The course of the disease can be slowed, but he cannot be operated on.
Just over five days later, Ulrika Jonsson shared an old picture of herself in which she wrote a note to Svennis:

“Look at how young I was then. I have nothing to say about Sven. He is not a good person,” wrote Jonsson as a caption.
The post is deleted after a couple of hours.
This was something that The Express noticed via Daily Mail.
