Swedish soccer coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has revealed that he is battling pancreatic cancer and may have less than a year to live, according to an interview with Swedish Radio P1. The 75-year-old former England coach shared that he discovered his condition after unexpectedly collapsing, prompting him to reduce his public appearances due to health issues in February last year.
Eriksson, renowned for his successful coaching spells with clubs such as Lazio in Italy, Benfica in Portugal, and IFK Gothenburg in Sweden, became England's first ever foreign-born coach in 2001. Leading the national team until 2006, he guided them through two World Cup tournaments and a European Championship.
