There have been rising requires Sven-Goran Eriksson to be given the chance to handle Liverpool for the LFC Legends match at Anfield in March.
The annual charity fixture sees Ajax coming to Merseyside in a few months’ time, and there’s an growing clamour on social media for the previous England boss to fulfil (partly) considered one of his greatest goals.
The 75-year-old – who was identified with terminal most cancers this week and has a 12 months to reside at ‘greatest’ – has admitted that he ‘all the time wished’ to handle the Reds, having been a long-time supporter of the membership.
Talking on Sky Information, John Gibbons of The Anfield Wrap mentioned that it’d be a ‘incredible’ contact to see Eriksson main out the LFC Legends this 12 months, regardless of the position being earmarked for Sir Kenny Dalglish.
The podcaster said: “We’ve bought a Legends sport developing in March. It raises some huge cash yearly for the incredible LFC Basis, and possibly there’s a job there to handle that group.
“It is perhaps a Legends sport but it surely’s all the time near a full home at Anfield. Ajax are coming over so it’s a giant event. A variety of nice ex-players play and it’s an exquisite event. You lead the groups out below the This Is Anfield signal. They play You’ll By no means Stroll Alone so it’ll really feel just like the closest factor [to managing the first team].
“I’ve seen fairly a number of Liverpool followers point out that [Eriksson managing LFC Legends team] and I believe it’s a incredible thought. It’s not my thought but it surely’s one I’ve seen and I believe it’d be completely good.
“Kenny Dalglish usually does it however he’s accomplished it a great deal of instances! I’m certain he’ll be fairly glad to cross it on to Sven as a result of he’s such a incredible, in style soccer man all through the nation. I’m certain everybody would like to see him do it. It’s all the time an exquisite event and I’m certain that’d make it much more so.”
If Sir Kenny is glad to step apart and permit Eriksson to handle the LFC Legends this 12 months, the Swede will completely be assured of an emotional reception at Anfield for the charity fixture in March.
It’d be great if the 75-year-old is given that chance as he continues his terminal battle in opposition to most cancers.
