Eriksson firms as Real Madrid favourite - March 22, 2006
England boss Sven Goran Eriksson is emerging as favourite for the coaching job at Real Madrid.
The England head coach regards the Real job as the most attractive after the World Cup finals this summer although there has yet to be any official contact from Spain.
Eriksson is already guaranteed one offer with Danny Jordaan, the chief executive of 2010 World Cup in South Africa, declaring that the host nation would pay what it takes to secure the Swede's services.
Whether Eriksson can be persuaded to work in Africa remains to be seen and he has expressed a desire to return to club management.
Carlo Ancelotti's decision to stay with AC Milan leaves Eriksson firmly in the box seat for a job he has long coveted.
And new Real President Fernando Martin is warming to the idea of Eriksson especially because of the Swede's personal relationship with David Beckham.
