Sven-Goran Eriksson has stepped down from his role at IF Karlstad after only 79 days due to health issues.
Eriksson, 75, rose to prominence when he took charge of the England national team in 2001 and oversaw the development of what was labelled as their 'golden generation'. The Swedish manager took England to three major quarter-finals and lost twice on penalties with a team including stars such as David Beckham, Michael Owen, Ashley Cole, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes and more.
He later became Manchester City manager and spent 12 months at the Etihad Stadium between 2007 and 2008. Dating back almost five decades, Eriksson took his first managerial role in 1977 and his most recent position as sporting director at Karlstad began in December last year.
