Eriksson turns down offer in Jamaica
Monday, July 10, 2006
LONDON, England (AFP): Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has knocked back an offer to coach the Jamaican national team, his agent Athole Still said Sunday.
Since Eriksson's reign effectively ended with England's World Cup quarter-final loss to Portugal last weekend, press reports have suggested a Carribbean move could be on the cards, which Still confirmed.
"It appeared in the press before there was any contact to myself, but then there was contact to myself," Still said.
"I just have to say this: I had a very pleasant conversation with an agency, a company representing Jamaica, and I can tell you that in the course of that conversation the person concerned told me that Jamaica, the government there, had made a substantial amount of money available.
"He actually told me what their hit list was, and you would be very surprised at the level of people that they are going for."
