The family of former England football manager Sven-Goran Eriksson have sold his memorabilia for £140,000 to contribute to paying off his debts.
At the time of his death, Eriksson had debts exceeding £8 million, including £7 million in UK taxes.
Eriksson`s family had to sell numerous items, including his Armani suit from the 2006 World Cup, which still had his handwritten team notes in the pocket.
The auction of 349 items also featured his BBC Coach of the Year trophy from 2001 and a Premier League Manager of the Month award from his time managing Manchester City.
A lunch invitation from the late Queen and an Ivory Coast jersey signed by former player Didier Drogba were also sold.
Sven Eriksson passed away last year at the age of 76 due to pancreatic cancer, leaving behind his partner Yaniseth Alcides and two adult children to manage his debts.
Despite earning millions during his 42-year managerial career across 12 clubs and four national teams, including England from 2001 to 2006, he accumulated significant debt.
The Swedish auction house commented, noting considerable interest from England, Italy, and Portugal.
They added that the high interest reflected the widespread appreciation for Sven Eriksson globally and expressed satisfaction with the auction results, hinting at a potential third auction of his furniture.
However, the funds raised remain a small portion of the total debt, and Eriksson`s family is also selling his seven-bedroom lakeside mansion in Sweden for £1.8 million.
