Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sven Goran Eriksson is in talks with three clubs and one national association about an imminent return to management, the Swede's agent, Athole Still, told The Independent last night.
Marseilles appear to be his favoured option, with Paris St-Germain also interested, and Tord Grip, Eriksson's assistant at Lazio and with England, yesterday went as far as saying: "It's true. We are on our way and it should be completed by new year."
Still declined to confirm that, saying only: "There are four genuine live possibilities and nothing has been concluded yet. One is a national association, three are well-known clubs."
No English sides are involved. The national association is believed to be Qatar, although Nigeria and the United States have also shown interest since Eriksson left his England post after the World Cup flop.
