Departing Ivory Coast coach Sven Goran Eriksson says he's not in the frame for the Fulham job.

With current Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson on the brink of moving to Liverpool, Eriksson had been linked with a possible return to the Premier League.

But the former England and Manchester City boss told the Victoria Derbyshire programme on Radio Five Live: "I have heard some rumours but there are absolutely no facts behind it.

"I think they have a brilliant manager and I do not know if he is staying or, as rumoured, going to Liverpool, but so far I have heard nothing."

However the Swede, who took charge of the Ivory Coast in South Africa, reiterated his desire to work in England's top flight again.

He said: " It's a dream for every manager going into the Premier League, it is the best league in the world."
