Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson is prepared to take a
'big job' in the Premiership despite the criticism he received when
he was in charge of the national team.
Eriksson handed over the reins to assistant Steve McClaren after
last year's World Cup, when a lacklustre England were eliminated by
Portugal in the quarter-finals.
He is still being paid compensation by the Football Association but
the Swede, who admitted to being 'bored' after almost a year out of
work, is looking for a way back into the game.
Asked if he would be prepared to endure the same public scrutiny of
his private life he suffered in charge of England and take charge
of an English club, Eriksson told Talksport: 'I'm very stubborn, I
will take a good job wherever it is, even if it is in
England.
'I hope to be back in football next season because I love football.
Yes, I would take a big job wherever - I wouldn't say I was fed up
but I'm a little bit bored.'
Eriksson endorsed McClaren's stewardship of England and he believes
the former Middlesbrough boss will take the country to Euro
2008.
He declined to support or criticise McClaren's decision to drop
David Beckham - Eriksson's captain - but did say: 'I saw David
playing with Real Madrid last weekend and he looked fantastic.'
