A poignant funeral was held for former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson in his hometown of Torsby, Sweden, following his death from pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. The service at Fryksände church was attended by notable figures such as David Beckham, Roy Hodgson, and Eriksson's ex-partner Nancy Dell'Olio, who shared an emotional tribute to him. A New Orleans-style procession with a brass band led Eriksson's coffin from the church to the Kollsberg homestead, as hundreds of locals gathered to pay their respects. Beckham, who was appointed England captain by Eriksson, was seen shedding a tear and comforting Dell'Olio. Eriksson's partner Yaniseth Alcides and his children Johan and Lina were also present, along with many former colleagues and friends. The ceremony highlighted Eriksson's humble connection to his roots and his significant impact on football.
