Ex- Fiorentina, Roma, Sampdoria and Lazio coach Eriksson died today, Monday, August 26, 2024, aged 76.
The legendary Serie A coach, a Scudetto winner with Lazio in 1999-2000, revealed a cancer diagnosis this past January, sadly announcing that he had less than a year to live.
“I have to fight as long as I can. In the best case scenario, a year or even more, at worst even less. In reality no one can be sure for sure, it’s better not to think about it,” he said.
“You can somehow trick your brain, think positively and see things in the best way, don’t get lost in adversity, because this is obviously the biggest of all, but still get something good out of this experience.
“I suddenly collapsed while I was running a five-kilometre run. After a medical consultation I discovered that I had had a stroke and that I already had a tumour. I don’t know how long, maybe a month, maybe a year.”
