Eriksson's agent, Bo Gustavsson, revealed that he passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by family at home. He had been battling pancreatic cancer.
Gustavsson shared, "We have known about this but it happened very quickly. We were not prepared for it to happen today," highlighting the suddenness of Eriksson's passing.
Eriksson, born February 5, 1948, in Sweden, transitioned from a modest playing career to becoming a renowned football manager, achieving success with various international clubs.
