INCREDIBLE treasures owned by legendary manager Sven-Goran Eriksson have been put on sale - including a snazzy Armani suit and various winners medals. Football went into mourning when the legendary coach passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 76 in August last year.

Eriksson was one of the country’s best performing managers, taking the national team to two World Cups and one Euros quarter final. But eye-opening accounts published in his native Sweden on January 14 reveal he had debts totalling 118 million kronor - the equivalent of £8.6 million - when he died.

A staggering £7.2 million of that was owed to His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK. Now, a cluster of the late manager's valuable belongings have been flogged. The items all have a starting price of 100 Swedish Krona, equal to roughly £7.

The splendid collection feature items commemorating Sven's accomplished career as head coach of the England national team, Italian giants Lazio and Roma and in the Premier League with Manchester City, among others. The collection includes several Armani and Burton jackets from Eriksson's time as England manager.

An Ivory Coast jersey signed by iconic former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is included in the auction, as are winning medals from Eriksson's tenure guiding Lazio and Roma to silverware. For the former, punters can put in a bid for the legend's eye-catching Serie A winners' medal from the 1999/2000 season.
