Former Manchester City and England boss Sven Goran Eriksson would welcome the chance to work again for Lazio.

Eriksson will lead the Ivory Coast in next month's World Cup.

The Swede was asked by Corriere dello Sport to describe his feelings on the 10th anniversary of winning the Scudetto with Lazio.

"It's beautiful, very beautiful," he said. "I will always remember the Scudetto with Lazio. It's not easy to win the League in Italy with Juventus, Milan and Inter.

"I want to send my regards to Lazio. I still follow them. They are in my heart. I have spent three great years at Formello.

"It was a wonderful period of my life. We built a great team and played wonderful football."

When asked if he would consider a return to Lazio, Eriksson replied: "Why not? Sure. I would like to come back to Italy.

"You live well, there is a wonderful climate and then it would be beautiful to make Lazio play football again. Who knows?"
