Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has died at the age of 76.

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

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

Former Leicester City and Sweden International Pontus Kamark told Sport Today’s Nick Hatton that his countryman was ‘one of the greatest ever’ Swedish football figures.
