DUBAI — Former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has resigned as technical director of Dubai-based Al-Nasr to return to club coaching, according to local media reports Monday. The 65-year-old Swede was expected to take over from Al-Nasr coach Walter Zenga after the former Italy goalkeeper’s contract was terminated Saturday. However, Eriksson said he was leaving too, with local media linking him to Chinese Super League Club Guangzhou R&F. Asked if it would take him to China, Eriksson replied: “Maybe, but there are other solutions.” As well as England, Eriksson had spells with Mexico and Ivory Coast at international level. — Reuters
