Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson will join a Liverpool Legends management team for a charity game at Anfield against Ajax Legends in March.


Eriksson, 75, revealed in January that  he has "best case a year to live after being diagnosed with cancer. 

The Swede also said he was a Reds fan and had "always wished to be the manager of Liverpool". Liverpool said Eriksson "will join a dugout of LFC greats, including Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldridge".

Liver supporters had called on the club to allow Eriksson to manage a Liverpool Legends team following his announcement about his health.

Sweden's Eriksson was the first foreign coach to manage England and led the side to the quarter-finals of the 2002 and 2006 World Cups as well as Euro 2004.
