He achieved multiple titles with Benfica in the 1980s and secured the Serie A title with Lazio in the 1999-2000 season. Eriksson also had coaching roles in Mexico, the Ivory Coast, and the Philippines.

Eriksson is notably recognized for his tenure as the manager of the England national team from 2001 to 2006, during which he led the team to the quarter-finals of Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup.

In a documentary about his life, Eriksson reflected on his mortality, saying, “I had a good life…I think we are all scared of the day when we die, but life is about death as well. You have to learn to accept it for what it is.

“Thank you for everything, coaches, players, the crowds, it’s been fantastic. Take care of yourself and take care of your life. And live it.“
