As a follower who vividly remembers the footballing world of the late 90s and early 2000s, I find myself deeply moved by the passing of Sven Goran Eriksson. I had the privilege of witnessing his tenure with England and the flamboyant presence of his then-partner, Nancy Dell’Olio, who was an integral part of that era.

In her own words, Nancy Dell’Olio, a past love of Sven Goran Eriksson, has honored the late former England manager. He departed this world on Monday morning at the age of 76 after bravely fighting pancreatic cancer.

Previously believed not to be married, a lawyer aged 63 and a Swede were in a decade-long relationship. However, in a touching tribute, Nancy referred to this individual as her spouse, implying they may have tied the knot privately.

The stylish Italian woman, who parted ways with her husband Giancarlo Massa to be with the coach, was often seen beside him and photographed together at multiple competitions.

Nancy posted a affectionate snapshot on Instagram, showing her seated on Sven’s lap, his arms embracing her tightly.

In this post, she expresses her sadness by saying: ‘With great sorrow, I announce the death of my former spouse, Sven. Despite our relationship having its challenging periods, I prefer to recall the happy memories we created and the instances that brought us happiness.’

I’ll forever treasure those dear memories, while offering heartfelt sympathies to his family, especially Lina and Johan, during this difficult time.

‘When you love someone, that love never truly fades. Rest in peace, Sven. You will be missed.’

In the 2006 World Cup held in Germany, extravagant Nancy, known for her stylish attire, orchestrated soirees for the wives and girlfriends (WAGS) of the English team, who were stationed at Baden Baden as their base.

In 1997, they first encountered each other as he managed Lazio in Rome, and when he subsequently took on the role with the English national team (Three Lions), he brought this person along. For a decade afterward, they remained together.
