Management still interests Sven

Sven-Goran Eriksson still harbours ambitions of returning to full-time management despite his appointment as director of football at Notts County. Eriksson has managed some of the biggest teams in world football at both club and international level - Benfica, Roma, Fiorentina, Sampdoria, Lazio, England, Manchester City and Mexico among others. At County the 61-year-old's focus will be on transfer negotiations and scouting, player development, establishing links within the community and with overseas clubs, the youth academy, training facilities and the health and fitness of County's players. But after pledging his immediate future to the Magpies by signing a five-year deal, he still sees himself returning to the dugout in the future. Asked whether this was the end of his managerial career, Eriksson said: "I hope not, I hope not. I want to be in football for many, many years still but you never know when it's finished. "I'm still hungry, I still love it, this job - of course - is something a little bit new for me but I will try that as well."
