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 rising clamour on social media for the previous England boss to fulfil (partially) one in all his largest desires.
The 75-year-old – who was diagnosed with terminal cancer this week and has a yr 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 News, John Gibbons of The Anfield Wrap stated that it’d be a ‘implausible’ contact to see Eriksson main out the LFC Legends this yr, regardless of the position being earmarked for Sir Kenny Dalglish.
The podcaster acknowledged: “We’ve received a Legends sport developing in March. It raises some huge cash yearly for the implausible LFC Basis, and possibly there’s a task there to handle that crew.
“It is likely to be a Legends sport but it surely’s all the time near a full home at Anfield. Ajax are coming over so it’s an enormous event. Plenty of nice ex-players play and it’s an exquisite event. You lead the groups out underneath 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 just a few Liverpool followers point out that [Eriksson managing LFC Legends team] and I believe it’s a implausible thought. It’s not my thought but it surely’s one I’ve seen and I believe it’d be completely sensible.
“Kenny Dalglish usually does it however he’s executed it a great deal of occasions! I’m certain he’ll be fairly blissful to cross it on to Sven as a result of he’s such a implausible, well-liked 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 blissful to step apart and permit Eriksson to handle the LFC Legends this yr, 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.
