Notts County chief Sven Goran Eriksson is ready to welcome Roberto Mancini as new manager.

The Mirror says Mancini will be offered a whopping five-year deal to take over at Notts County that will see him earn former boss Ian McParland's salary in under a week.

McParland was booted out of his £80,000-a-year job yesterday and director of football Sven-Goran Eriksson immediately ruled himself out of a sensational return to management.

But Eriksson is ready to wave a staggering contract worth around £10 million in an attempt to woo Mancini.
