Sven-Goran Eriksson, who revealed he has terminal cancer last month, will be part of Liverpool’s management team for an upcoming charity match.
The former England manager told Sky News last month “he always wished to be the manager of Liverpool”.
Following a campaign from the club’s fans to grant Eriksson his wish, Liverpool said: “We are delighted to confirm Sven-Goran Eriksson will be part of the LFC Legends management team for the game against Ajax Legends at Anfield, on 23 March.
“The former England boss will join a dugout of LFC greats, including Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldridge, for the annual LFC Foundation charity match.
“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.”
