Liverpool have confirmed that Sven Goran Eriksson will join the Liverpool Legends management team for the game against Ajax Legends at Anfield next month.

The former England and Manchester City boss will join Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldridge in the dugout for the game.

Eriksson revealed last month that he was battling pancreatic cancer, and that in the best case he has a year to live.

The 75 year old said that as he was always a Liverpool fan he had always wished to be the manager of the club, and will now get his wish on the 23rd of March at Anfield.

A statement on the Liverpool website read:

"Liverpool FC is delighted to confirm Sven-Goran Eriksson will be part of the LFC Legends management team for the game against Ajax Legends at Anfield on March 23.

"The former England boss will join a dugout of Liverpool greats, including Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldridge, for the annual LFC Foundation charity match.

"All connected with the club and LFC Foundation look forward to warmly welcoming LFC fan Sven and his family to Anfield - and seeing him in the dugout on the day - for a fantastic fundraising occasion."
