Sven Entertaining Offer From Big Club?
Recently axed City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson may not wait long to find work.
The former England manager rejected offers from both Benfica and Mexico because he has a “much bigger club” interested in his services, according to the Guardian. If the sentiment has truth, such a club would have to be a Champions League club in one of the top three leagues.
I would like to know more about these shady “close associates” of Sven. Does Sven have a posse he rolls with? Did the Guaridan interview one of his mistresses? Or, was the close associate merely Sven or his agent?

I think he leaked that to get Benfica to improve their offer. In the top three leagues, the only teams that could be looking for a manager soon are Chelsea, Inter and Milan. I don’t think Chelsea would hire him. He was sucessful in Italy, but Milan would take Rijkaard before Sven, and Inter Mourinho.

I hope Chelsea doesn’t hire him. I will never forget the look on his face while England played in the last World Cup. I would never hire him, just for that. I have never figured out just what this guy gets payed for. Love this backstage manouvering in the off season, almost as much as the football.

From what I have heard, Benfica is a mess right now. I don’t think he would go there. I think his time at Man City has to have increased his value somewhat after the England debacle.
