Ivory Coast boss Sven Goran Eriksson is keen on the Liverpool job.

The Sunday Express says Eriksson has thrown his hat into the ring by declaring his interest in replacing Rafa Benitez as manager of Liverpool.

Eriksson declared his interest as soon as Benitez walked out of Anfield and joined Inter Milan.

Now the former England coach, in charge of Ivory Coast at the World Cup in South Africa, would be eager to return to English football.
