Departing Manchester City striker Paul Dickov insists he has no grudge against Sven Goran Eriksson after failing to make an impact last season.
"I still learned a lot from him because he was a great person as a manager and I think he appreciated what I brought to the club.
"Sven and I got on well. We had a lot of time for each other and even when I had gone on loan he still phoned me up a couple of times to ask me about various things. That was nice and he was one of the people who encouraged me to get my coaching badges."
