SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON’S mansion is up for sale at a “bargain” price – and his former partner has moved out.
Football went into mourning last August when the ex-England boss died from pancreatic cancer aged 76.

His ex-partner Yaniseth Alcides has moved out and returned to Panama[/caption]
Now his lakeside property on a secluded estate in Sunne, Sweden, has been made available for around £1.8million.
Meanwhile, Eriksson’s long-time girlfriend Yaniseth Alcides has returned to her native Panama.
A wave of affectionate memories of the ex-Manchester City and Leicester boss swept across sport following the Swede’s death.
David Beckham and Roy Hodgson were among the mourners at Eriksson’s funeral in his home-town of Torsby, near Sunne.
Preparations to sell his seven-bedroom home, which has a private beach, began in September.
Eriksson paid £420,000 for the late-19th century home in 2002 when he was in charge of the Three Lions and his partner was Italian lawyer Nancy Dell’Olio.
Agent Sotheby’s say he has since “left his personal mark on both the interior and exterior”.
However, after the property’s value soared to £3m in the last decade, it’s now fallen to almost half of that figure.

The home, covering 835 square metres, has multiple reception rooms and a library.
And it’s also as sporty as you might expect.
A 250-square metre poolhouse sits outside, along with a saltwater pool, spa, sauna, jacuzzi, gym and relaxation area.
There’s also a tennis court, jetty, a motorized floating platform, a sandy cove and waterside gazebos.
Lawyer Anders Runebjer, who was a close friend of Eriksson’s, reportedly expects the home to sell quite easily.
Swedish outlet Expressen say Runebjer believes the reduced valuation of £1.8m is more realistic for buyers
He also pointed to the freedom and natural setting offered by the property.
