'Football closing price' Coach Sven Yeran Eriksson, the first foreign head coach of the England national team, died at the age of 76 after battling pancreatic cancer.

Following the 2022 Korea-Japan World Cup, Euro 2004, he led the 2006 Germany World Cup. His report card is 40 wins, 17 draws and 10 losses, and a 59.7% winning rate.

Beckham said "We laughed, we cried, we knew we were saying goodbye. I will forever cherish the last memories of this day with you and your family. Thank you. The last thing you said to me was 'It's gonna be okay'" grieved.
Wayne Rooney, who made his England debut at the age of 17 under Eriksson's leadership, also joined the memorial service. He called Eriksson a `special man.' And "Rest in peace. Thank you for the memories, help and advice. I send prayers to my family and relatives."
