Sven-Goran Eriksson

Sven-Goran Eriksson's children shared that their father's doctors were brought to tears upon learning the seriousness of his terminal illness. The former England manager's health condition has deeply affected his loved ones.

Eriksson, who is 76 years old, shared in January that he has pancreatic cancer and is nearing the end of his life. The most positive outcome would mean he has only one year left to live.

The coach who used to lead the English national soccer team from 2001 to 2006 has recently posted a heartfelt farewell message in a documentary that delves into his life.

Additionally, his two children are featured in the Amazon Prime documentary named 'Sven', discussing the heartbreaking news they received about their father's critical condition.

They remember being informed by medical professionals after Eriksson fainted during a 5km run.

The ex-coach of the England soccer team, Sven-Goran Eriksson, shared in January that he is battling pancreatic cancer and is nearing the end of his life.

Sven-Goran Eriksson and his son Johan were spotted together at a golf tournament in the Forest of Arden, Warwickshire in May 2004. Johan was supporting Swedish golfer Johan Edfors as his caddy.

At the beginning of this year, Sven-Goran Eriksson posed for a photo at the Swedish Sports Gala in Stockholm with his daughter Lina on the left and his partner Yaniseth Alcides in the center.

Johan Eriksson informed the filmmakers that his sister had called him 10 times because their father was in the emergency room and his condition was critical.

You can often see when the doctor is crying that something is really wrong. It's the most terrible news.

Johan's sister, Lina Eriksson, said: 'When we learned that he had suffered five strokes, we were filled with fear and went into a state of panic.'

Sven talks candidly in the new documentary, along with former co-workers and past partners like Nancy Dell'Olio.

In the beginning of the show, Eriksson talked about how he was feeling. He said, "I woke up one morning feeling off balance. Turns out, I have cancer. That's the truth of it."

I'm feeling unsure about the medication. I'm feeling a bit anxious. It will take some time before I feel comfortable with it. But, I'm still here.

The show ends with Eriksson speaking in front of beautiful Swedish landscapes near his home in Sunne, saying: 'I have been fortunate in my life.'

I believe we all fear the moment of our passing, but death is a natural part of life.

You need to come to terms with the reality of the situation. Hopefully, in the end, some people will acknowledge that he was a good person, but not everyone will say that.

Sven-Goran Eriksson said goodbye in a documentary that reflected on his life.

Sven-Goran Eriksson was in charge of the England team from 2001 to 2006. During this time, David Beckham served as his captain, including during the 2006 World Cup quarter-final loss to Portugal.

Eriksson, shown in the picture with his partner Yaniseth Alcides, announced in January that he has pancreatic cancer and is nearing the end of his life. The most optimistic scenario would give him about a year to live.

He is telling viewers that he wants to be remembered as a happy and optimistic person who did his best. Instead of feeling sorry, he encourages everyone to smile.

I want to express my gratitude to all the coaches, players, and fans for making this experience amazing. Remember to look after yourself, cherish your loved ones, and make the most of your life. Live it to the fullest.

In other parts of the show, Eriksson confessed that he made a foolish mistake by being unfaithful to his former partner Dell'Olio with TV presenter Jonsson and former FA secretary Faria Alam.

The ex-England soccer coach says that sex is something to be happy about and he also mentioned, 'I didn't do anything wrong.'

The Swedish man gained international attention for his extramarital affairs during the 2000s.

In the Amazon Prime documentary, he suggests that sex is a positive aspect of life that everyone can enjoy. However, he also admitted that his reputation suffered because of his extramarital affairs.

He was in a relationship with Italian lawyer Dell'Olio for nearly ten years, starting in 1998.

However, he had short romantic relationships with TV presenter Jonsson, who is now 56 years old, in 2002 and with former Football Association secretary Alam, who is now 58 years old, in 2004.

Discussing his relationship with Jonsson, he explained: "Sex is a pleasurable aspect of life that we both enjoyed. Neither of us were involved in committed relationships at the time."

The documentary shows Eriksson looking back on his days as England manager and his battle with cancer.

Sven-Goran Eriksson guided the national football team of England to the quarter-finals in three consecutive tournaments - the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups and the 2004 UEFA European Championship sandwiched in between.

Eriksson achieved a long time dream earlier this year when he coached a Liverpool team at Anfield in a charity legends match. He was seen in a photo with his former England player Steven Gerrard.

Eriksson discusses his romantic relationships in the latest movie, confessing that he made a foolish decision to cheat on Nancy Dell'Ollio (seen in a photo with Eriksson in 2002) with Ulrika Jonsson and Faria Alam.

Sven-Goran Eriksson is seen in this photo with his partner Yaniseth Alcides and their family.

Perhaps I made a foolish mistake, but I believe my actions were not illegal. I didn't cause any harm to anyone.

Dell'Olio, aged 62, shared in the documentary how she came close to leaving Eriksson because of his affair with Ms Jonsson, but her attorney suggested against it.

Eriksson mentioned: 'She thoroughly enjoyed it. The thrill. She was a woman from the elite society in Rome. She enjoyed socializing with prominent individuals.'

Nancy confessed her deep affection for Eriksson, stating: "When I first met Sven, I couldn't help but notice his undeniable charisma and charm. It was like a magnet pulling me towards him."

I didn't plan for it to happen, but I ended my marriage to be with Sven. From our very first date, we were inseparable as Sven and Nancy. I became known as the leading lady of English football.

Eriksson also shared that during his time as the coach of the England national team, he had a meeting with Tony Blair at Downing Street. The Prime Minister humorously suggested a bet, asking who would hold onto their job longer - Eriksson or himself. He described their roles as "impossible jobs."

Eriksson currently resides in Sweden with his partner, Yaniseth Alcides, who used to be a dancer. They met in Mexico while he was serving as the national coach there.

She expressed optimism about our long-term future together, stating, "I believe we will remain together for many years to come. I refuse to give up on that belief."

Eriksson talked about his house near Sunne in Varmland County, saying it is lovely and peaceful. He mentioned that it is located at the base of the mountain where his father was raised, and that it would be a fitting place for his ashes to be scattered in the water.

The new documentary 'Sven' from Amazon Prime will come out on August 23rd.

During the 2006 World Cup in Germany, England's top scorer Wayne Rooney was seen training with his former manager Sven-Goran Eriksson in Baden-Baden.

Ulrika Jonsson, who ended their relationship in 1997 and recently reconnected with them, has addressed the revelation made by Sven Goran Eriksson about their four-month relationship in a new documentary.

Faria Alam, the woman who worked as Sven's assistant during their affair, claims that she had strong feelings for him.

Sven-Goran Eriksson is still in Sweden with his girlfriend Yaniseth Bravo. She has expressed her determination to stay positive and hopeful that he will overcome his pancreatic cancer.

Eriksson guided England to the quarter-finals in three back-to-back tournaments - the 2002 and 2006 World Cups with the 2004 European Championship in the middle.

In addition to those positions, he also achieved success as a manager by leading IFK Göteborg to victory in the 1982 Uefa Cup, securing three Portuguese league titles with Benfica, and winning the Uefa Cup Winners' Cup in 1999. He continued his winning streak by clinching the Serie A championship with Lazio in the next year.

He also managed English football clubs like Manchester City and Leicester City. In March of this year, he achieved a goal by coaching Liverpool at Anfield in a charity match against Ajax. The game included former players like Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard.

Eriksson, who was cheered by the crowd as he walked out onto the field before the game, later expressed, 'That moment will be something I will always remember - simply stunning.'
