Sven-Goran Eriksson will have the opportunity to coach Liverpool for a day thanks to the endorsement of Juergen Klopp.
After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this month, Eriksson disclosed that, in a “best case” scenario, he had around a year to live.
Ex-England football manager Sven Goran Eriksson has been invited to be Liverpool manager
After disclosing his medical conditions, former England manager Eriksson revealed in a series of TV interviews that he had always loved Liverpool and wanted he could coach the team.
The 75-year-old Swede has been called upon to coach a Liverpool Legends squad at Anfield in 2024;
Robbie Fowler, who played under Eriksson for England, intimated as much on X, formerly known as Twitter.
However, the current Reds boss has gone one step further. Numerous newspapers cited Klopp as stating, “I don’t know him, unfortunately.”
“I know him without knowing him, we never met.
“Yes, when you heard the news, it was undoubtedly very moving.
It was then that I learned for the first time of his lifelong love and adoration for Liverpool.
“Well, I recently learned about the legends match and related news. I can’t comment on that because I’m not in control of it.
All I can say is that he’s more than welcome to come visit me, and if he’d like, he can spend a day working from my office seat.
That is not an issue.It could be a little harder to be on the sidelines.
I think we will surely inform him about how this amazing club has grown over the years, now that he is here and we can show him everything.
“He can come over and have a few wonderful hours here, I’m sure.”
