Eriksson said in January that he had been diagnosed with cancer and had at best a year to live. Since then, the entire football world has admittedly said goodbye to him: when he revealed that he was very heartbroken that he never got to coach Liverpool, he was able to sit on the bench of his favorite club at a gala match in March.

The first non-British coach in the history of the English national team publicly said goodbye to everyone a few days ago: “I had a good life. We all fear our last day, but life is also about death somewhere. We have to learn to accept this as it is. If not all, but hopefully the majority of people will end up saying yes, you were a good person. I hope I will be remembered as a positive guy who tried his best. Don’t be sorry, smile! Thank you for everything, the coaches, the players, the fans, it was fantastic. Take care of yourself and take care of life! And live it! Goodbye” – stands in the last message of the coach who enjoyed a lot of love even during his active career.
