Fulham to make official approach for Sven-Goran Eriksson - report

Sven-Goran Eriksson - Mexico (Mexsport)
Fulham are reportedly set to make an official approach for Sven-Goran Eriksson as a potential replacement for Roy Hodgon.

The 62-year-old recently put pen to paper to sign a contract with Liverpool, creating a managerial vacancy at Craven Cottage.

The Swede, in the meantime, recently stepped down as Ivory Coast boss, after the African nation crashed out of the 2010 World Cup.

Now The Daily Star claims that the Cottagers are expected to approach Eriksson's agent, Athole Still, to find out if the former England, Mexico, Manchester City and Lazio manager would be interested in taking the reins of the London-based club.

Goal.com UK had previously revealed that Alan Curbishley, Mark Hughes, Tony Mowbray and Eriksson were on a list of four candidates being considered for the job.
