Sven-Goran Eriksson – A Beautiful Game – Reflections on life and football

Life is a beautiful game – but how should you play it? 'To be a manager, you have to perform always. You cannot live in history. It's now and tomorrow that counts.'

For Sven-Göran Eriksson, one of the world's most revered and respected football managers, the game has come to an end.

This autobiography contains his parting reflections, looking back on what he achieved, experienced and learned over a lifetime in service to the beautiful game, a journey which took him from a small club in his native Sweden, across every continent, to competing on the world's stage. Before his death, he was able to impart the lessons learned along the way – about life, leadership and love – and to speak candidly about his extraordinary successes, as well as overcoming his failures.

On the field, he led some of the finest sportsmen on earth to great victories and heartbreaking defeats, and in the process left his indelible mark on the game. This is a story of lives touched and connections made in the dogged pursuit of excellence. But for Sven the true journey he wanted to share is the one he made on the inside – the man that he became.
