The Sven Year | City Studios Documentary | Sven-Goran Eriksson 1948 - 2024

Manchester City and the world of football are mourning the loss of former Club manager Sven-Goran Eriksson who has passed away at the age of 76.

By way of tribute to the Swede’s contribution to the Club’s history we are republishing our documentary The Sven Year which charts the highs and lows of Eriksson’s solitary but memorable season as City manager.

The documentary features interviews with the man himself, alongside fans and former players such as Elano and Nedum Onuoha.

The Swede was appointed in the summer of 2007 and his arrival saw an influx of continental talent as City made a flying start to the campaign before our form dipped after Christmas.

Though Eriksson was to depart after just a year in charge, that season is remembered fondly by supporters for the exiting brand of football instilled by former England manager, the likes of which had not been seen at the Club for some time.

The Sven Year recounts key moments in that period, including our first league double over Manchester United since 1970, along with the emergence of the precocious Michael Johnson.
