Sven-Goran Eriksson's memorabilia from his four decades as a football manager have gone up for sale after he died with a reported debt of £3.7million.

Ninety-eight items are up for sale including blazers from his England days, medals from his achievements in Italian football, and his second managerial contract at Gotehenberg from 1979.

The former England manager died last August in Sunne, Sweden, aged 76 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

All of the items up for auction have an initial list price of 100 Swedish krona (£7.40).

Earlier this month it was reported that he owed a total of £8.64 million (118 million Swedish Krona), and had assets of £4.8m, leaving his estate with a hefty deficit, as per Swedish news outlet the Göteborgs-Posten.

The largest single share in the new figures were reportedly tax debts in the UK, owed to HMRC, totalling £7.25m.

He admitted on several occasions that he had poor control over his finances despite his illustrious career in football, reportedly telling Expressen in 2017: 'I have no idea how much money I have and where it is.'

That's despite the fact that he earned huge sums of money during a managerial career which encompassed 14 clubs and three national teams. His pay-offs from England, Manchester City, and Mexico alone are thought to be around £7m in total.

He admitted that he was close to bankruptcy at one point after losing £10m to financial adviser Samir Khan, who he entrusted with his fortune in 2007.

He later took Khan to court and won, receiving an apology, but said he never got the money back.

The luxury mansion where Svennis spent the final years of his life is now up for sale for what is being described as a 'bargain' price of £1.8m.

Bjorkefors Manor, on the banks of Lake Fryken, is set in a sprawling and secluded estate complete with beautifully-kept gardens, woodland and a private beach.

It was previously put up for sale on several occasions throughout the 2010s, but Svennis was seemingly able to hold on to the property until the end of his life.

His beloved home of 22 years, the old farmhouse, was put up for sale shortly after his death.

The estate inventory was submitted to the Swedish Tax Agency earlier this month.

The records also reveal that Sven’s funeral, which took place in Fryksande Church in Torsby on September 13, cost 650,000 krona or around £48,000, plus a tombstone for 30,000 Korna, or £2,200.

He is best known in the UK for managing England between 2001 and 2006, leading the side to two World Cup quarter-finals as their first-ever foreign manager before Fabio Capello and Thomas Tuchel.

In the book 'A Beautiful Game', published shortly after his death, Eriksson made the revelation that despite his stellar managerial career, he had at one stage been close to bankruptcy.

He revealed his regret at giving his financial responsibilities over to Khan, who he later described as the 'only person on earth I hate'.

Eriksson had reportedly met Khan in 2004 in Dubai and hired him to manage his finances three years later when he became the boss of Man City.

He admitted not heeding warnings about Khan, leading to him reportedly losing an estimated £10m of his fortune.

'If I had done that, I could have saved a lot of money. I've hit a few studs in my life. Samir Khan accounted for the worst,' Eriksson said, as per the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

'He, who was trusted to take care of my money, instead made me lose 100 million kroner.

'I did sue him and won in court, but I never got any money back. So even though I made so much money, I was really bad for a while, I was close to personal bankruptcy.'

Eriksson had taken legal action in 2010, after growing concerned and asking Deloitte to run checks on Khan a year earlier.

His lawyers argued that Khan made negligent investments and earned 'secret profits that have been paid to himself'.

Khan was alleged to have bought a house in Barbados in Eriksson's name and taken out loans on the property, before doing the same with his mansion in Bjorkefors.

Svennis bought the manor early in the early days of his career as England manager in 2002 for 5.8million Swedish Krona (£420,000) and carried out a full renovation on the late 19th century property.

The property's value rocketed up to as much as £4m in the 2010s, but now the price tag has fallen to around half of that - with a starting price of 25million SEK (£1.8m).
