Eriksson, the first non-British manager of the England team, led the Three Lions to the quarter-finals at three major tournaments during his five-year spell in charge between 2001 and 2006.


In January Eriksson said he had "at best" a year to live after being diagnosed with cancer.


His family said on Monday: "Sven-Goran Eriksson has passed away. After a long illness, SGE died during the morning at home surrounded by family."


The Swede managed 12 clubs, including Manchester City, Leicester, Roma and Lazio, winning 18 trophies.


Following his diagnosis Eriksson spent the year visiting some of his former clubs, including Lazio and Sampdoria.


In March the Swede, a lifelong Liverpool fan, helped lead a Liverpool Legends team which beat an Ajax Legends side 4-2 at Anfield.
