Agent: Eriksson not in Mexico

Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has not travelled to Mexico this weekend, according to his agent.

Local media had suggested the Swede would be in Torreon to watch the second leg of the Mexican league’s closing final between Santos Laguna and Cruz Azul today.

However, Eriksson’s representative in Mexico, Juan Carlos Padilla, confirmed the coach has not made the trip.

“He is not coming this weekend. He will not attend the final like some reporters speculated and he will not even attend the (committee) meeting,” Padilla told Esto newspaper.

The Mexican Football Federation’s committee of national teams is reportedly set to meet tomorrow to decide whether to appoint Eriksson as successor to sacked Hugo Sanchez and interim boss Jesus Ramirez.

Mexico play Argentina and Peru in warm-up games next week for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, which resume on June 15 against Belize.
