WATCH THE CLIP

Sven, who has been a Liverpool fan for many years after his father encouraged him to support them, will go down as one of the great managers of his generation. He won silverware with Benfica, Roma, Lazio, and managed more than a dozen clubs in a glittering career, while also guiding England to three successive quarter-finals, in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, and the 2004 European Championships.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

On Saturday, Sven will join a dugout of Liverpool greats such as Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldridge for the annual LFC Foundation charity match. Some of the Reds' players for the Ajax match include Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Jerzy Dudek, Dirk Kuyt, Jari Litmanen and more.
