Eriksson hopes for return to Italy

Sven-Goran Eriksson admits he wants to return to manage in Italy after his reign as England coach comes to an end.

Sven-Goran Eriksson admits he wants to return to manage in Italy after his reign as England coach comes to an end.

Eriksson insists that his sole focus right now is plotting England's course to the Euro 2004 finals.

His five-year contract with the Football Association actually takes him up to the end of the 2006 World Cup, with an option for a further two years beyond that.

While the Premiership is one obvious possibility, it seems that the call of Serie A is evidently still appealing, especially as his partner, Nancy, is Italian.

Eriksson told Italian sports newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport: "I will certainly return to Italy but I do not know when."
