Eriksson Keen To Become Liverpool Boss

Former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson is interested in becoming the next Liverpool manager, should Rafa Benitez's Anfield reign end in the summer.

According to the News of the World, Eriksson covets the job of Liverpool manager. They quote a source as saying, "The job Sven really wants above all others is Liverpool. His track record stands up to scrutiny and he thinks he has a chance."

Eriksson left his job as Director of Football at Notts County last week and will reportedly receive a £2million pay off from the League Two club. However, the News of the World claims that the Swede joined Notts County in order to keep himself in the shop window for bigger English clubs, such as Liverpool.

The 62 year-old has not managed in the English top division since he was sacked as Manchester City manager in the summer of 2008. Benitez is under pressure at Anfield and there have been persistent rumours that he will take over as Juventus coach, particularly if he fails to guide Liverpool to Champions League football for next season.
