# Sven-Göran Eriksson reveals he’s “always been a Liverpool fan”

Former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson has revealed that he has “always” been a Liverpool fan.

[In an interview with Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/11485388/sven-goran-eriksson-says-he-is-a-liverpool-fan?__twitter_impression=true&__twitter_impression=true) Eriksson claimed that he had followed the Reds since a very young age, with his Father heavily influencing his choice.

Despite being out of management, Eriksson claimed he would still follow the Premier League closely this year, and offered a prediction for the eventual winner of the famous trophy.

> I’ve always been a Liverpool fan. I can say that now, I couldn’t say that when I was in England but I was always since I was \[young\]. My father as well, he is 90, still a Liverpool fan.

> But I still think \[Manchester\] City will win it.

England manager between 2001 and 2006, the Swede also managed Manchester City and Leicester City following his spell in charge of the national team.

The 70-year-old’s last job came in China, managing Shenzhen FC in the 2016-17 season.

Rejecting offers from the national teams of Cameroon and Iraq, it remains to be seen if Sven opts to continue his distinguished managerial career.
