Sven sacked by Leicester City

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has reportedly been sacked by English Championship club Leicester City, a club source told Sky Sports News on Monday.The 63-year-old held talks with the club's Thai owners on Monday after Saturday's 3-0 home defeat to Millwall left them 13th in the table, albeit only two points outside the play-off places.However, the Thai owners are unhappy that after spending £10 million on new players during the close season -- a sizeable amount by Championship standards -- that the results have not been better.Eriksson only signed a two-year contract in October last year after unsuccessful spells, since leaving the England job, with Mexico and then at Notts County -- then in League Two -- whose owners failed to deliver the millions they had promised him to pay for new players.Should the reports be confirmed Eriksson would be the second former England manager to leave a Championship club this season, following his former assistant at national level and successor as coach Steve McClaren's sacking by Nottingham Forest.
