Always an absolute gentleman.

[@giannb5145]

He was an excellent club manager in the 80s and 90s with success and trophies across Europe. English fans never appreciated him or fully recognised his worth. Yes, I know about English "golden generation", but look at what Italy, France, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil and Spain ALSO had at the time. And the criticism leveled at him for his preference of "old-fashioned" 4-4-2 means nothing. Managers like Diego Simeone and Roberto Mancini won trophies with 4-4-2 AFTER Eriksson

My Cousin was a player at Notts County when Sven Came in

[@uromi-owuopukeme6081]

I hardly ever say this but this was a brilliant interview.

[@charlesapana9935]

Southgate can't just handle the good players at his disposal

[@fredrickvincent]

The camera team could have been better

[@gerasiusnegumbo6682]

Talk low, talk slow and do not say too much

[@IanEckert1977]

Shooting Starrs was Absolutely-Fcuking-Mint...

[@PauloTheGeek]

Such a warm and charismatic man. Football needs more characters like him and less of the 'everybody look at me' types like Klopp, Simeone, Conte, Mourinho, etc.

[@adammac4960]

He was a 90s manager in charge in a different era. Same as Capello. Mourinho winning the champions league with Porto changed football. 4-4-2 was outdated teams were playing 3-5 in the midfield which as Mourinho says always beats 2. But look at Mourinho and benitiez. There outdated now and now you don’t need strikers to win leagues anymore.

[@NostalgiNorden]

Here is a tip to the english media: Don't kill ANYONE.

[@davegoodwin1950]

I always thought Southgate wer a bit curious lol

[@leeturton9254]

The only thing I blame Sven for is picking lampard and Gerrard together...it clearly didn't work...on paper it looked great but it didn't work...pick one of scholes lampard Gerrard with hargreaves or butt

[@Swededude74]

Sven-Göran Eriksson is simply the BEST!

[@leewainwright3526]

if he'd have played paul scholes in the right position we might be having a different conversation

[@NostalgiNorden]

Legend!

[@barbrokjelkerud]

Jag har följt Svennis hela tiden 👏😊❤️

[@paull1061]

Sky drove a rental car from Norway! Strange since Eriksson lives in Sweden;-)

[@Chris-si4ox]

The only difference between this guy & Southgate is luck, & the world cup proved that - as soon as England played a good team they lost. This whole 'togetherness' and 'culture' doesn't mean you can beat good teams. This narrative that Gareth has done an amazing job because of a SF, Final of Euros etc needs to be put in context - England got to those stages because of VERY favourable draws. Arguably losing to Croatia in the 2018 world cup should be seen as a failure. Sven lost to golden generations of Brazil & Portugal squads when his team was riddled with injuries - that's why they did not progress beyond QFs from 2002-2006.

[@user-xh8ui7hw1u]

Reappears like Tony Blair every so often to remind us of the damage he did. Heartache here and abroad.
