    Interesting how the coverage differs from country to country.

    England: Sven-Goran Eriksson managed the England team at a time when
    they had some of their best players and he had an affair with Ulrika
    Jonsson.

    Portugal: Sven-Goran Eriksson managed Benfica, leading then to three
    Portuguese league titles and he won the Portuguese Cup.


    RIP Sven-Goran Eriksson.

    Not a lot of coverage of this anywhere including Germany. I did not see anything on the kicker site. Possibly due to him being a cocaine
    enthusiast.

    Some kind write ups for Daum on some of the Turkish news sites,
    apparently he used to join in with singing the Turkish national anthem
    before matches. He won the Turkish league once with Besiktas and twice
    with Fenerbahçe and also won the Turkish Cup with Besiktas.


    RIP Christoph Daum.

    Italy: Sven-Goran Eriksson managed Roma, Sampdoria, Fiorentina and
    Lazio, He won one Serie A title, four Coppa Italias (with three
    different teams), one Cup Winners' Cup and a European Super Cup. I will remember him most fondly as Roma's coach in the 1985/86, when the
    giallorossi mounted a furious comeback in the league, caught up Juventus
    with two matches to go, and then fell at home to last-placed Lecce in
    one of the greatest upsets in the history of Serie A. And yet, he was
    very gracious in defeat: he didn't blame the ref or cosmic conspiracies.
    "The ball is round, we lost, congratulations to Lecce."

    He would get his revenge over Juve in the 2000 season, when his Lazio
    won the scudetto on the very last day of the season thanks to Juve
    slipping up in the flood of Perugia.
