A former England manager, SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON has died at the age of 76.

ERIKSSON, the first non-British manager of the England team, led the Three Lions to the quarter-finals at three major tournaments during his five-year spell in charge between 2001 and 2006.

He managed 12 clubs, including Manchester City, Leicester, Roma and Lazio, winning 18 trophies.

The Swede also had spells in charge of Mexico, Ivory Coast and the Philippines.

In January, ERIKSSON said he had "at best" a year to live after being diagnosed with cancer.

Following his diagnosis, he spent the year visiting some of his former clubs.
