Historic England appointment
Eriksson resigned from his post at Lazio in January 2001 to succeed Kevin Keegan as England manager.
During his time with England, Eriksson led the Three Lions to a famous 5-1 win against Germany in Munich during qualifying for the 2002 World Cup, with Michael Owen scoring a hat-trick.
Eriksson was in charge for two World Cup campaigns, exiting both the 2002 and 2006 editions at the quarter-final stage with Ronaldinho's long-range free kick helping Brazil beat England 2-1 in the former, while Portugal prevailed on penalties after Wayne Rooney had been sent off following an incident with his Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo in the latter.
He took the national side to just one European Championship in 2004 when it was Portugal again who sent England home with another penalty shootout victory in the last eight.
After a five year stint, it was announced in January 2006 that Eriksson was to leave his role following that summer's World Cup in Germany despite having two years left on his contract.
No official reason was given for his departure at the time, though the Swede had come under pressure after being caught in a newspaper sting by a tabloid journalist.
His years as England manager were marked by scandal over his private life, including newspapers revealing affairs with television presenter Ulrika Jonsson in 2002 and former Football Association secretary Faria Alam in 2004.
A year after leaving his post with England, Eriksson was appointed manager of Manchester City and he oversaw 45 games before parting ways in June 2008.
Manchester City have posted on X: "Everyone at Manchester City is thinking of Sven-Goran Eriksson, and we wish to express our collective support to our former manager, and his family and friends, during this time."
Eriksson went on to have a varied managerial career following his Manchester City departure, including a spell with Leicester City, along with roles with national sides Mexico, Ivory Coast and the Philippines.
