Leicester boss Eriksson tells Ricardo: You owe me one!

Leicester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson is delighted with their capture of Ricardo.

Eriksson has signed Portuguese keeper Ricardo, 34 - his nemesis and the man who broke England hearts TWICE.

But for Ricardo's heroics at Euro 2004 and the World Cup two years later, the Swede could have been among England's great managers.

Eriksson told The Sun: "I've told him already he owes me one... or two!"

Despite being released by Real Betis, Eriksson believes Ricardo has the qualities to make a real impact.

He added: "He was great, I hope he can do great things for us. His mind and body are still quick."
