Former Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson may have an emotional reunion with the club on the final day of the Premier League season. Eriksson, who has been diagnosed with cancer and has a limited time to live, has had a remarkable footballing career, leading England to success in multiple World Cups and Euros. Clubs from his past are making moves to welcome him back with open arms.

Manchester City insiders suggest that plans are in place for a reunion with Eriksson at the Etihad Stadium, with the possibility of him returning for the final day of the Premier League season. Additionally, the Football Association is working on a tribute for Eriksson, which could involve presenting the FA Cup trophy or meeting the teams at the upcoming final. This would be a fitting tribute to the legendary coach.

As Manchester City aim to retain their Premier League title and win the FA Cup, Eriksson may witness more success for the club in the coming weeks. With matches against Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham remaining, City could secure another league title under the guidance of current manager Pep Guardiola. The potential reunion with Eriksson adds an emotional touch to an already significant season for Manchester City.
