Former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson died millions of pounds in debt

Stockholm: It’s a sad day for football fans. Former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson has passed away, and it turns out he left behind a mountain of debt. Can you believe it? He was millions in the red when he died.

Despite earning a fortune during his career, managing big teams like England, he was scammed out of a staggering £100 million. That’s just wild! His estate shows he had debts totaling around £8.6 million at the time of his death.

According to reports, he had assets worth about 66 million kronor, but his debts were way higher. It’s a real shocker, especially since he was such a well-known figure in football.

He passed away on August 26 last year after battling pancreatic cancer. His financial troubles were no secret, but the extent of them is surprising. Most of his debts were tax-related, particularly to the UK tax authorities.

Back in 2011, he had a legal battle with a financial advisor who mismanaged his money. Sven admitted he didn’t pay much attention to the details, which is a bit of a lesson for all of us, right?

His family wasn’t shocked by the news of his debts. They knew he had said he wouldn’t leave any money behind. His will states that his assets should go to his kids, ensuring his father can maintain his lifestyle.

He even wanted to set aside some money for his girlfriend and his brother as a thank you for their support. It’s touching, but it’s also a reminder of how quickly things can change.

His funeral cost a pretty penny too, around 650,000 kronor. And now, his beautiful manor by Lake Fryken is up for sale. It’s a bittersweet end to a life filled with highs and lows.

In his own words, Sven reflected on life and death, urging people to remember him as a positive guy. It’s a poignant reminder to cherish every moment.
