Sven takes Mexico job

Sven-Goran Eriksson has formally been declared as the new boss of Mexico, despite many in the country believing he is the wrong man for the job.

The Swedish coach was controversially sacked by Man City this summer, despite helping City to a relatively successful season.

Now, the Swede has agreed a two year deal with Mexico worth an estimated £2.5 million a year.

Eriksson has the goal of leading Mexico to the 2010 World Cup.
