Sven-Goran Eriksson has told talkSPORT he knows he will never get his dream job as Liverpool manager.

The former Three Lions boss is currently managing Chinese Super League club Guangzhou R&F, but he admits he would love a return to this country.

And if he had his choice of clubs, his preferred destination would be Anfield.

“In the past, it was always a dream to manage Liverpool,” he told Colin Murray. “But that will not happen.

“I’ve always been a Liverpool fan. My father was a Liverpool fan so it’s in the family. Liverpool have been doing rather well this season, better than for many years, and I hope they can compete this year in the Premier League because they haven’t done that for a long time.”

Eriksson also revealed his desire to have a second spell in charge of England.

“There is unfinished business, but I will never have the England job again so I don’t really think about it,” he added. “But it’s the biggest football job you can have, a fantastic job. You are proud and happy to have it every day. It’s probably the biggest job in the world.”
