Former England soccer team manager Sven-Goran Eriksson will continue to contribute to a Prime Video documentary about his life and career, despite his terminal cancer diagnosis.
75-year-old Eriksson has been working with Whisper production company for the last 18 months on a “warts and all” documentary, tracing his career from Italian club Lazio to becoming the first non-British manager of England in 2001.
The Times reports that the doc may be aired midway through the year, although Eriksson will have the final say on the transmission date. The paper quotes a source saying that, despite the football pro’s deteriorating health, there is a lot of humour in the piece, as “Sven is a very funny guy.”
As well as his footballing achievements, the documentary will chart Eriksson’s high-profile life away from the pitch, including relationships with long-term girlfriend Nancy Dell’Olio and British TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson.

"Too much time has been spent on what the facts are..."
That stonking Katie Hopkins line came towards the end of the eyeball-scratchingly painful two-hour slog that was The Big British Immigration Row.
It neatly summed up the pointlessness and vile nature of Channel 5's live TV talk show, which it laughably billed as "a timely and robust contribution to this vital national debate".
Hot off the 'success' of the equally tiresome Big British Benefits Row (Why is everything always big? And why is it always a row?), this follow-up was guilty of being even more preposterous, even more ugly and with an extra hour tagged on it, even more boring.
Like walking into a pub and listening to a selection of drunkards furiously debating, 'What came first - the chicken or the egg?', it was flabbergastingly vapid and bewilderingly bad in equal measure. Not that Channel 5 seems to care.

But Spencer stressed to Digital Spy and other journalists at the FiFi UK Fragrance Awards in London last night (May 16) that he and Lucy are the real thing, saying: "We are official, yeah. We are dating, it's looking good... we're very happy at the moment."
