This is extremely sad news. One of the best England managers we have had in my generation.
I saw him on tv at anfield and he looked dreadful but he achieved a long held ambition to manage Liverpool
Bless him.
RIP Sven.

One of my greatest memories in football will always be having been in the stadium for the 1-5 in Munich.
To put it into context, England were dire in the last game at the old Wembley with Keegan resigning after the Germany defeat.
Sven came in, got the respect of the players, turned it around and got us to WC2002 in Japan automatically.
Having come through the Group of Death with Beckham's redemption against Argentina in Sapporo, we went out to an excellent Brazil side in the QF.
Yes, much has been made of the inflexibility of the system that didn't allow Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard to play in the same side.
But regardless, I'll think he'll still be remembered well and greatly appreciated.
And for England fans of a certain age, we'll always have Munich.
Thank you, Sven.

Oh that's sad. Like others that 5-1 tonking if Zee Germans stands out in my mind.
A nice bloke. Probably a bit too nice to make it to the very top and stay there in the cut and thrust of the football world imo.

Decent fella Sven.
Not a great England manager, but better than most of the dross that came before and after him
The same papers that pilloried the fella will rush to eulogise
