Sven-Göran Eriksson shares poignant goodbye message in new documentary

As a fervent admirer of Sven-Göran Eriksson, I find his journey through football and life to be nothing short of inspiring. His recent heartfelt goodbye message, captured beautifully in the upcoming documentary Sven on Prime Video, serves as an emotional testament to his indomitable spirit and resilience.


In the recently released Prime Video documentary titled “Sven,” Sven-Göran Eriksson pens an emotional farewell note, reminiscing about his life experiences.

Having lost a dear family member to pancreatic cancer, I can empathize deeply with the former England manager’s diagnosis. Hearing about his prognosis, “maybe at best a year, at worst a little less, or at best maybe even longer,” struck me powerfully. Life is unpredictable, and this moment serves as a stark reminder of its fragility. I hope he finds solace in the support of loved ones and strength to face whatever comes next with courage and grace.

“You can’t be absolutely sure. It is better not to think about it,” he said at the time.

Sven-Göran Eriksson became the initial non-native coach for the England national team, guiding them through the 2002 and 2006 World Cup tournaments and the 2004 European Championships to the quarter-final stage.

Over the course of his management career, he additionally took on coaching roles for multiple teams such as Manchester City and Leicester City.

According to the Daily Mail’s documentary, Eriksson concluded with a poignant remark: “I lived a fulfilling life. It’s natural to fear the moment of death, yet life encompasses that aspect too.”

“It’s important to understand and accept things as they are. Ideally, in the end, others may reflect positively about him, saying ‘Yes, he was a good man,’ but not everyone will share this sentiment.”

I sincerely trust that you’ll recall me as a man striving to make a positive impact in every way possible. There’s no need for apologies; instead, let’s share smiles. Thank you, coaches, players, and spectators, for everything – it’s been an incredible journey. Take good care of yourself, and cherish your life. And above all, live it to the fullest.

As a longtime soccer fan, I found it fascinating to watch “The Making of Eriksson” documentary that showcased significant figures from Sven-Göran Eriksson’s career, such as David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Roberto Mancini, and Kasper Schmeichel. Having followed the evolution of football in Europe for many years, I was captivated by the personal stories and insights these iconic players shared about their experiences working with Eriksson.
