Iconic coach terminally ill
Eriksson says goodbye: “Take care of yourselves”
Emotional farewell words from coaching legend Sven-Göran Eriksson. In the documentary "Sven", the Swede looks back on his eventful life and explains how he wants to be remembered.
"I've had a good life, yes," the Daily Mail, which has already seen excerpts from the documentary, quotes Eriksson as saying. "I think we're all afraid of the day when it's over, when we die. But life is also about death. You have to learn to accept it for what it is. Hopefully, in the end, people will say, 'Yes, he was a good man'."
At the beginning of the year, the former England team boss announced that he was suffering from pancreatic cancer and that he only had a year to live at best.
"Live your life"
Eriksson wanted to be remembered as a positive person who always tried to do everything he could. "Don't be sad, smile. Thank you for everything, coaches, players, spectators, it was fantastic. Take care of yourselves and take care of your lives. And live it. Bye."
