Man City boss Eriksson jetting to Mexico

Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson will fly out to Mexico tomorrow for talks with their FA.

Eriksson will walk away from Eastlands with a £1million pay-off after just one season in charge.

The Mexicans are prepared to offer Eriksson a two-year contract worth around £4.5m, which runs up to the end of the 2010 World Cup.

Sven plans to watch Mexico's friendlies with Argentina and Peru in the next few days before making a decision.

But Mexican FA chief Justino Compean declared: "We expect us to close this deal on June 2 and the day after we will present our new national coach."
