Sven-Goran Eriksson to join Liverpool Legends management team for charity game against Ajax

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson will join a Liverpool Legends management team for a charity game at Anfield against Ajax Legends in March.

Eriksson, 75, revealed in January that he has "best case a year" to live after being diagnosed with cancer.

The Swede also said he was a Reds fan and had "always wished to be the manager of Liverpool".

Liverpool said Eriksson "will join a dugout of LFC greats, including Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldridge".

Announcing that Eriksson will form part of the management team for the game on 23 March, the club added: "All connected with the club and LFC Foundation look forward to warmly welcoming LFC fan Sven and his family to Anfield - and seeing him in the dugout on the day - for a fantastic fundraising occasion.
