Sven Goran Erikson: The pink scandals of the legendary Swedish coach – The “hot” messages, the mannequin and the Italian

Polytarus was the personal life of Sven Goran Erikson. The great lost in his 74 years the battle he was fighting in recent months with him, as he had revealed, touching the world of football. Sven Goran Erikson who “left” life on August 26 from pancreatic cancer, led to titles the many teams in which he worked as a coach, monopolizing sports headlines. In fact, as the coach of the national England, in the early 2000s, Sven Goran Erikson wrote history, as the first non-British to take over the reins of the “3 lions”. Following the resignation of then coach, Kevin Keegan, after a home defeat to Germany in October 2000, the English Football Federation (FA) ended up with Erikson as a replacement. His debut on 28 February 2001 was a friendly 3–0 victory over Spain at “Villa Park”, but on 1 September 2001, Erikson’s team crushed Germany 5–1 away in Munich. The Swede then led the “3 lions” to the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004, which our national won. During July 2004 the British dashboards, however, brought to light pink scandals of the national coach of England. Erikson and the powerful man of the English football federation, Mark Palios, had sexual relations with the same secretary by one month apart. This was the cause of the Swedish coach’s separation from his Italian lawyer Nancy Del’Olio, with whom he was together since 1998. The “stone of the scandal” was Faria Alam, 38 years old, former Mannequin and then secretary to the English federation. The previous ones before her relationship with Erikson, as well as Palios, exposed the federation, while the British media spoke of “Svengate”. The press had first reported on Erikson’s relationship with Alham a few 24 hours earlier. During the intermediation until July 20, 2004, Alam and the English federation with announcements denied that there was such a issue and even threatened with lawsuits any newspaper continued to write similar stories. British tabloids revealed that Erikson had an affair with journalist Urlica Jonson’s compatriot, while when this noise was cut, his relationship with Faria Alam’s secretary was revealed. To be noted before Alam and Italian Nancy Del’Olio, there was Anky Erikson, wife of Sven Goran Erikson, with whom the Swedish coach acquired Lena and Johan. Hot e-mails Returning to Faria Alam, the scandalous “News of The World” forced the English federation into a mischievous retreat, having at its disposal 38-year-old e-mails to her friends in which she mentions her relations with the Swedish coach. The English federation with a newer announcement stated among others: “New evidence was presented to us and with the investigation we conducted we can confirm the relationship”. Regarding Mark Palios, the federation issued a separate announcement stating: “As far as CEO Mark Palios is concerned, we believe this is a personal matter, but we can confirm there was a relationship”. According to “News of the World”, the one who took the first step was Faria Alam sending e-mails and text messages from her phone to Sven Goran Erikson from last September. At the same time Faria Alam maintained relations with Mark Palios. The 38-year-old first came very close to Erikson at a Christmas party and in February after having broken up with the Palios began the relationship with the Swede. After Euro 2004, on July 4, Erikson lied to his Italian friend Nancy Del’Olio that he had an urgent job in Sweden and managed to travel home with Alam. The last in e-mails she sent to her friends is particularly generous in her comments about Erikson and his sex performance. “My reputation was hurt by these relationships, but personally I don’t feel that I did anything so bad! Sex is one of the nice things in man’s life”, it was his words in Amazon’s documentary and to which he spoke about all his relationships… So Swedish with a Mediterranean temperament…
