Ex-England boss fancies Liverpool job

The News of the World claims former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson wants to manage Liverpool if under pressure incumbent Rafael Benitez is ousted from the Anfield hot-seat.

The News of the World claims that the 62-year-old is a 'wanted man' with both Juventus and Nigeria chasing his signature.

"The job Sven [Sven-Goran Eriksson] really wants above all others is Liverpool," the tabloid quotes a source as saying.

"His track record stands up to scrutiny and he thinks he has a chance."

The Swede has managed in UK previously, having spent a season with Manchester City before being axed in favour of Mark Hughes.

yes he is better than steve mclaren. he is more experienced than rafa even. he won titles in italy and sweden and he managed national team like england before. so you think he got experienced or not.

at least his track record with england is that he bring them to Euro and world cup Qfs, unlike mclaren, who failed to qualify for Euro 2008. I hope people like Mclaren, are not appointed as manager again, because seriously, the job is out of their depth.
