Eriksson considers North Korea move
By Soccernet staff
October 14, 2009
Former England and Mexico manager Sven-Goran Eriksson is to fly to Asia to discuss a possible World Cup finals campaign with North Korea, in what would be a controversial return to the international stage for the Notts County director of football.
Eriksson will fly to Beijing with his current employer, Notts County chief executive Peter Trembling, to negotiate a potential loan deal to guide the already-qualified North Korea through their first finals since 1966, according to the Guardian newspaper.
Given North Korea's uncertain standing in the global community, the appointment would likely draw criticism from some quarters. Eriksson has been a headline-magnet already this season since joining the ambitious League Two club as part of the club's wealthy, secretive new owners' proposed revolution.
North Korea coach Kim Jong-hun is under fire over concerns his team's playing style isn't good enough to challenge in South Africa next June, despite navigating his side through the tougher of two Asian zone qualifying groups. The nation qualified behind rivals South Korea after conceding just five goals in eight games, but scoring just seven times in the process.
Eriksson has been to the last two World Cups with England, guiding his team to the quarter final stage in 2002 and 2006.
