Liverpool announce Eriksson to take charge of Legends game

Sven Goran Eriksson will take charge of the Liverpool Legends at Anfield.

The former England and Manchester City manager has been a lifelong LFC fan.

Eriksson, 75, revealed in January that he has "best case a year" to live after being diagnosed with cancer.

Liverpool have announced Eriksson "will join a dugout of LFC greats, including Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldridge" for the March Legends game against Ajax.

"All connected with the club and LFC Foundation look forward to warmly welcoming LFC fan Sven and his family to Anfield - and seeing him in the dugout on the day - for a fantastic fundraising occasion."
