Sven-Goran Eriksson has revealed that he tried to sell David Beckham the dream of taking Leicester City back to the Premier League in the twilight of his career, only to see the idea shot down by Victoria.
Beckham spent five years plying his trade in the United States for LA Galaxy towards the back end of his career. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid winger made 124 appearances for the MLS side in total, but also joined AC Milan on loan twice to retain a connection with the European game.
Eriksson and Beckham enjoyed a good relationship with England, who the Swedish manager took charge of from 2001 to 2006. Beckham won 56 of his 115 international caps and scored all but one of his 17 goals under Eriksson and that connection could have led to reunion at then-Championship side Leicester.
