Eriksson 'committed' to England

Sven-Goran Eriksson has no intention of resigning as England coach, according to his agent.

There has been mounting speculation that Eriksson could be set to follow Adam Crozier out of the FA after the Scot quit his post as chief executive.

But Eriksson's agent, Athole Still, maintains the England manager has no intention of stepping down.

He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Nothing Mr Eriksson has said in the last few days, right up until the last time I spoke to him within the last 24 hours, gives me any indication that he is considering his position as the national coach.

"He is a thorough professional and committed to doing well with the England team.

"He believes he can do well with the England team, he believes they were very, very close at the World Cup and he has got the bite on what he wants to do with that team in the future."

Eriksson is quoted by The Sun as saying: "Everything around me may be changing but I am staying where I am."

FA executive director David Davies told The Sun: "Sven is fine, perfectly OK and happy to carry on as usual."
