Eriksson set for Man City job

Sven Goran Eriksson is reportedly set to become the new manager of Manchester City if Thaksin Shinawatra's &;pound;120m takeover goes through.

The former England coach has been approached to take over at Eastlands after Claudio Ranieri joined Juventus and Sevilla chief Juande Ramos opted to stay with the La Liga club.
However, his appointment will solely depend on former Thai prime minister Shinawatra finally sealing a deal to buy City, according to the Sunday Mirror.
Eriksson has been out of work since England's World Cup exit 12 months ago but has constantly stated his desire to manage in the Premiership. However, there are certain to be a number of detractors among the City faithful should he be confirmed as a candidate for the vacant post.
