Sven wants Reds job
Sven Goran Eriksson wants to manage Liverpool. The former England boss, currently at the World Cup as Ivory Coast manager, has issued a 'come-and-get-me' to Kenny Dalglish and Christian Purslow by admitting it would be a dream to manage the Reds. "I have been a Liverpool fan all of my life. I never mentioned it when I was in charge of England because I didn’t think it was fair,"said Eriksson. "I was shocked when I discovered Rafa Benitez had left. Would I want to be the manager of Liverpool? It is every manager’s dream to manage Liverpool. "My father was also a Liverpool supporter and every Saturday we would watch an English match on television. It was the highlight of the week. "Liverpool matches were televised quite regularly and we would cheer them on. They have always been my team and nothing has changed. When I was starting out in coaching I was invited to Liverpool to see how they did things. Joe Fagan was the manager at the time. "I remember him showing me around Anfield and taking me into their legendary boot room. "It was such a privilege and an honour for me to be invited in there. I will never forget that moment. Liverpool will always hold a special place in my heart. "My situation is easy. I have a contract with the Ivory Coast until the end of the World Cup and then I am free. Hopefully I will sit on some bench somewhere in the world, I don’t know where. "The Premier League is the best league in the world so everybody wants to be a manager in the Premier League."
