Former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson has died at the age of 76, according to a statement from Swedish agent Bo Gustavsson. The statement said: “Sven-Göran Eriksson has passed away.

Appointed as England’s first foreign manager in 2001, Eriksson guided the Three Lions to a trio of quarter-final finishes in two World Cups and Euro 2004. His first game in charge of England was a 3-0 win over Spain, but perhaps his most famous fixture with the Three Lions was a 5-1 victory over Germany. During his career as a club manager he won a trio of league titles in Portugal as Benfica manager and won the Serie A with Lazio. He also won several cup competitions, including winning the Coppa Italia with Roma, Sampdoria and Lazio.
After his time with the England squad he had further stints in English club football as manager of Manchester City and Leicester City, as well as a number of other international management roles including Mexico, Ivory Coast and the Philippines. Earlier this year he managed Liverpool in a ‘legends’ charity fixture at Anfield.
