RIP

Great statement from him

The guy lived a life he loved. You can't ask for more than that.

Always enjoyed this story Dietmar Hamann told about him too:

Rip.

Dude was full class when it worked in italy and i still followed soccer.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Rest in peace.

 

[Roufianos]

Sad. Always loved watching England growing up and that's when he was in charge.

RIP Sven.

If it wasn't for Ronaldinho being an actual magician, I reckon we'd have won the 2002 World Cup under your leadership. You should be celebrated not mourned.

RIP Sven, he was a really nice man and a good manager.

RIP. Haven’t owned a Sony Eriksson in decades but they were good at the time.
Makes you think what happened to those other brands (Sagem etc) before Apple stepped in.

Vila i frid.

RIP and hope you will see Degerfors return to where they belong from up there, Tro På`t!

Just watched the documentary on Amazon, it was unexpectedly moving. I'm not a big England football fan, so I'd kind of blanked out the media circus that followed him when he was here.

Seems like he was an ordinary guy with an amazing talent, who never said no to an opportunity, and enjoyed every last minute of it. Recording such a calm farewell message after receiving a terminal diagnosis is extraordinary. Bye, Sven.

Ericsson (not Sven-Goran) got done by the U.S. a few years back for making secret deals with ISIS in Iraq.
