Former England and Manchester City manager Eriksson told the Guardian: "Think about the pressure that will be on the shoulders of the new coach.
"(Gareth) Southgate twice brought the national team to the finals (Euro), once — to the semifinals, and this is not enough for the British. Therefore, the next coach must win. Everything else — failure.
"I'm sorry for the one who comes. If he does not win a major tournament, he will be criticised by — and the players, of course. Anyone who takes up this work will be a brave person."
