Sven-Goran Eriksson brushes off criticism from Ulrika Jonsson

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has brushed off claims made by Ulrika Jonsson criticising his performance in the bedroom.

The Swede, who released his autobiography Sven: My Story this week, has responded to Jonsson's claims that having sex with the football coach was as "functional as an Ikea instruction manual".

"That's okay," the Daily Star quotes Eriksson as saying. "So many things have been said about me. I try to write in the book how I lived it.

"If I am going to write a book, which I have done, I think we have to get it right, whatever has been written about me, about football, about my private life."

Eriksson was at the helm of the England setup from 2001 to 2006.
