Eriksson faces 'biggest football challenge' in Nottingham

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has described his next challenge as director of football at English League Two (fourth division) club Notts County as his toughest test yet. "It's the biggest football challenge in my life," the 61-year-old Swede told a news conference in the Midlands city of Nottingham on Wednesday. "I always said I wanted to come back to the (English) Premier League, because it's the best league in the world. I've chosen a difficult way to do it, it will take some years but I'm sure we will do it. "It's great to be here again. The weather is the same as usual," he joked as he was unveiled by the Football League's oldest club. County confirmed late on Tuesday that Eriksson had joined with immediate effect along with his former England assistant Tord Grip, who takes on the role of general adviser. Eriksson will be responsible for all aspects of developing the club on the pitch, including training facilities, youth development and transfer negotiations.
