Eriksson: “I’ve still got the appetite”

SVEN-Goran Eriksson dismissed suggestions his time at Leicester will only be short-lived after being unveiled as the club’s new manager at the Walkers Stadium yesterday.

The former England manager, 62, has penned a two-year contract, quickly replacing Paulo Sousa who was sacked on Friday with the Foxes at the foot of the npower Championship table after a dismal start to the season.

Leicester represents Eriksson’s sixth destination in just four years after he parted ways with the FA in 2006.
