young french Torbjörn Nilsson was the top scorer in the Uefa Cup 81/82 and in the European Cup 84/85 and 85/86, while playing for a Swedish “amateur” side. He scored more goals in european football than anyone else from 81 to 86 when he suddenly retired at the age of 32 to become a chef. One of his last games was the semifinal of the 85/86 european cup against Barcelona where he scored 2 goals. Sven knows what he’s talking about. Don’t underestimate Torbjörn Nilsson!

He was a bluffer who was fine when the players were able to do it for him but would sit on his hands doing nothing when things were going wrong, instead of being proactive and doing something positive to earn his money. For England, the "Golden Generation" team basically picked itself when fit, considering how few English players there were available in the PL, Sammy Lee took the training sessions and I remember one substitution where there was a mix up regarding which player came off/went on and so the wrong one was made, yet Sven sat there twiddling his thumbs instead of getting up and taking control......It makes you wonder what he actually did for his money! Then on top of all of that, he was secretly touting himself out to clubs like Chelsea for the money when still England manager and instead of sacking him, the FA were daft enough to give him an extra million as a golden handcuff while he was still under contract anyway.

I'm also not sure where the depleted England part comes in, considering he has the likes of: Beckham, Campbell, Carrick, Ash Cole, J Cole, Defoe, Ferdinand, Gerrard, Hargreaves, Keown, Lampard, McManaman, G Neville, Rooney, Scholes, Seaman, Sherringham, Terry and so on to pick from, and how many League winners from several countries and CL. Mind you, he also gave caps to James Beattie, Lee Bowyer, Sean Davis, David Dunn, Francis Jeffers, Anthony Gardner, Paul Konchesky, Zat Knight, Gavin McCann, Chris Powell, Michael Ricketts, Jlloyd Samuel and Alan Thompson too, so....... He also did not quite understand the concept of the best 11 players do not necessarily make the best first 11 team, so tried to crowbar in all of Scholes, Gerrard, Beckham and Lampard into the same team, with Lampard as one of the most attacking and highest scoring midfielders totally wasted in a defensive role at the bottom of a diamond, instead of being decisive and not so wishy-washy and choosing one of Scholes, Gerrard or Lampard as his main attacking midfielder and then choosing from the likes of Barry, Carrick or Hargreaves in the defensive or other roles for balance and have them playing in their normal positions, instead of Gerrard on the left wing......And it was even made easier for him too when 3 became 2 when Scholes retired from international football, yet Sven still couldn't grow a pair and make the call. Then you had the farce of him choosing a 16 or 7 year old Theo Walcott (can't quite remember) to warm the bench at the 2006 WC despite only having played 13 senior games and none of those were for Arsenal so no games at all then in the PL, whilst leaving behind proven PL goalscorers like Darren Bent, who was the top scoring English player in the PL that season, Andy Johnson and Jermain Defoe. OK so none were world beaters but at the time had to have been better choices than Walcott. Yet considering Rooney and Owen were starters and Crouch would come off the bench, he just wasted a selection that could have been used elsewhere......Even Vassell perhaps? And no I would not necessarily have expected Sven to win the PL with Vassell, although he picked him 22 times for England when he did not have to, so in his judgement rated him but I would have thought they should have been finishing above 9th, which was one place behind Portsmouth when Ciry failed to win 23 of their 38 games that season and managed to lose 13, when his players included Joe Hart, Micah Richards, Stephen Ireland, Dietmar Hamann, Elano, Benjani and Daniel Sturridge. Oh and just for the record, Sven is not one of the most successful manager ever, unless you mean one from about 2,476

You know... I just read about a week ago, that Eriksson is declared THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FOREIGN coach in Serie A history! Winning THE MOST Coppa Italias (4 - with three different teams) 2 Scudettos, and European Supercup....And don't forget, Till the late 2000's, Serie A was the best league in the world (now is behind EPL, and right about leveling with LaLiga), but in the 1980s & 1990s it wasn't just the best, but it was officially dubbed "THE NBA OF FOOTBALL"! And he achieved all those trophies in those two decades! So... truly one of the greatest coaches ever!

You can see Sven's philosophy of playing his best players in the field in full swing here. He played Scholes as a LM for the same reason he selected Nedved as a LB in this XI, he was too good to be left out. Despite getting so much stick from the English fans & media, he was pretty good for England. Lost only 3 competitive matches inside 90 minutes during his lengthy tenure. Absolute top, top manager. Winning 3 trophies with Lazio in a single season during the best era of Serie A was probably his greatest achievement. One of the greatest managers in football history in my book.

Many don’t understand that this manager is applying the most crucial and classic point we’re all told as young footballers. Talent alone will not gain the approval of a top class manager, it all comes down to hard work and professionalism.

Torbjörn Nilsson was THAT good! He was a bit of a sensitive soul though so he never succeeded outside IFK Göteborg, not even in the national team.

Nedved was an absolutely sublime footballer. Possibly underrated.

This guy got paid millions and was bedding Ulrika Johnson. He's just taking the piss in this video fml

I used to watch football italia with my grandad at weekends and its crazy how Jamie just soaks all this stuff in from 20-30 years ago when he wouldve been a kid himself, respect

Sven Goran "THIS PLAYER HAD EVERYTHING!" Erik son

When he was named as England’s manager it was regarded as a major signing for us yet some people think he wasn’t that good as a manager...

He won the league in 2000 because he had Nesta, Couto, Mihajlović, Simeone, Conceição, Nedved, Veron, Inzaghe, Mancini and Salas. They were all world class players in their prime. Nesta, Simeone, Nedved and Veron were all time greats in their respective positions. Zidane was the best playmaker of that generation but from 1997-2001 Veron was as good as him. A lot of managers could of coached that team to a league title, a better manager probably would of won more

True. Really great player, prob the best Swedish player ever. Too bad he was playing still for IFK Göteborg in the fall of 1982, or Hammarby would've become Svenska mästare.

Right at the end of his career when Veron played in the World Club Cup against Barca he was totally sensational. Nearly beat them single handily; when they were without doubt the best side in the world. Beautiful game from a wonderful player... was like one man trying to hold back the sea and he nearly managed it.

Adam Llana Alf Ramsey won the World Cup in 1966, I prefer him. Your copy and paste bs won’t change that.

People take these things way too seriously. He's choosing players he wants in his side, not necessarily a side that would play in real-life. We all have favourite players who aren't necessarily the absolute best players going.

This is like the team you have after your second season of PES master league using default players.

He's always reminded me of Elliot Carver the James Bond villain in tomorrow never dies 😂😂

Respect, very good manager. Wonder how he'd have done at United..

Always remember a match between Argentina and England and the Argentine fans gave Sven a standing ovation when he walked out of the tunnel. One of the commentators asked why they had done that and an Argentine pundit (cannot remember who it was ) said the Argentine fans loved and respected Sven because he was always pulling younger ladies lol

Selection Void straight away putting Kasper Schmeichel into the Ultimate Rest of the World team ahead of his father Peter is crazy stuff

Sky pundits think that the Premier league is the only league in the world its actually hard to watch sometimes. It's not the best league in the in my opinion it's the richest without doubt but it's not the best.

Not sure if I’m supposed to look at it sideways or upside down 🤣👍😎

I think everyone can tell that Sven-Göran Eriksson is no Pep Guardiola when it comes to the tactical parts of the game, and I realise that most people commenting here are englishmen disappointed by his stint as an england manager. But you don't have the career this guy had without having something. I would compare him to Carlo Ancelotti, one of the most decorated managers we have, in that he isnt a brilliant tactical mind, but is excellent in man management, recognizing talent, and the more humanistic sides to football. He has been washed up for 15 or so years, he is old and hasnt evolved along with modern football, but his achievements speak for themselves. But yeah, I know how much emotions inadequate management of your national team can stir up. I felt the same about our previous manager (Erik Hamrén) as a Swede.

Played Nedved at LB, Gullit as striker, Veron wide right...classic Sven. Off his face!

He never liked Salas, and he saved his ass in so many times, that we lost count of it.
