Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has announced that he has been diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, he also said that the best case scenario is that he has a year left to live.

The Swedish manager is just 75 years old, and is a well-loved figure in England after becoming the first foreigner to be appointed to the managerial role for the men's national team. He led the Three Lions to the quarter-finals of both the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups. The team also reached the last eight of Euro 2024.
