Eriksson started as a right-back before moving into management in 1977, where he built his reputation methodically across Sweden, Portugal, and Italy. He lifted the UEFA Cup in 1982, reached the European Cup final in 1990, and closed out the Cup Winners' Cup in its final edition in 1999, adding the Super Cup that same year. The job that made him a global name came next: England's national team, followed by stints with Mexico, the Philippines, the Ivory Coast, Manchester City, and Leicester City. By the time he died in August 2024, he'd coached in ten countries, carrying his quiet manner and continental ideas into leagues that had never seen either.
