Eriksson rules out Sweden

Former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson has pulled out of the running for the job as national coach of Sweden, the Swedish Football Association said Tuesday.
"We've been in contact over the last week with 'Svennis' (Eriksson's surname in Sweden), who is one of the people we were thinking about to become manager," said federation president Lars-Aake Lagrell.
"We had good talks but he told us that for contractual reasons with Notts County it is not possible for him to take charge of the national team at the present moment.
Having endured 10 turbulent months as Mexico's coach until April this year, Eriksson stunned the football world by joining lowly Notts County, in English League Two, as director of football in the close season.
The 61-year-old Swede twice led England in the tournament during his five years as national manager and first made his name as a coach when he led IFK Gothenburg to UEFA Cup glory in 1982.
Lars Lagerback's nine-year reign as Sweden manager ended on Wednesday following the team's failure to qualify for the World Cup.
