Fans call for Sven-Goran Eriksson to manage Liverpool legends team

Eriksen has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Fans have launched a campaign calling for Sven-Goran Eriksson to be given a chance to fulfil his 'dream' of managing Liverpool FC. Eriksson announced last week that he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and, "at best", he has been told he only has one year to live. The former England manager, 75, also revealed that he is a Liverpool fan and that he 'always wished to be the manager' of the Reds. "My father is still alive and is still a Liverpool supporter, and I'm a Liverpool supporter as well, I've always been," the Swede told Sky News. https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1745914941750821074 Liverpool fans took to X (formally known as Twitter) after hearing about Sven's diagnosis and his love of the club to suggest that the Swede take charge of a legends team. Former Liverpool midfielder Luis Garcia was among those who called for Eriksson to coach the Liverpool Legends team. https://twitter.com/luchogarcia14/status/1746153586701013154 And former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler joined the conversation, saying that a call had been made about making it happen. https://twitter.com/Robbie9Fowler/status/1746155394773275020
