Sven-Goran Eriksson provides an update on his health, amid terminal cancer diagnosis - as the former England boss reveals why he 'feels sorry' for Gareth Southgate's successor

Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has heartbreakingly opened up on his terminal illness.

Eriksson, 76, revealed in January that he had pancreatic cancer and is approaching the end of his life, with a 'best case' scenario seeing him only have a year left to live.

The Swede enjoyed a hugely successful managerial career, coaching the likes of Benfica, Lazio, Man City, Leicester City and Roma, while he also led England between 2001 and 2006 and was the first ever foreign coach to be in charge of the Three Lions.
