The Swede will thus fulfill one of the dreams of his life, coaching Liverpoolas he revealed during the announcement of his cancer, when he stated that he has one year to live.

Eriksson will sit on the bench alongside Liverpool legends such as Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldrige, and will be under his command of players such as Jerzy Dudek, Sander Westerveld, Martin Skrtel, Fabio Aurelio, Djibril Cissé and Ryan Babel, among others. They will be announced in the coming weeks.

“I’m a Liverpool fan, so I’ve always wanted to be their coach,” said the Swede. “He can do my job for a day if he wants,” Klopp said. No sooner said than done. Eriksson will sit on the ‘red’ bench. The match will be against a team of Ajax Amsterdam legends on March 23.
