Medals and memorabilia: Sven-Göran Eriksson's belongings up for sale to cover his debts
Former England, Lazio, and other club manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, who passed away last summer at the age of 76 from pancreatic cancer, left behind significant debts. As a result, many of his cherished possessions and memorabilia have been put up for sale, The Sun reports.
Shocking financial reports from Sweden reveal that Eriksson's debts total £8.6 million, with £7.2 million owed to His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK.
To help settle these debts, a vast collection of memorabilia from the legendary Swedish coach is being sold. Among the items up for auction are treasures such as Eriksson's Serie A and Coppa Italia winner’s medals from the 1999/00 season and his Premier League Manager of the Month award.
Additionally, jackets from his time managing the England national team, designed by Armani and Burton, are included, along with a signed Ivory Coast jersey from Didier Drogba.
Reports indicate that starting bids for each item will begin at just £7.
