Eriksson denies Marseille rumours
Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has distanced himself from reports linking him to the managerial role at French side Marseille.
The Swede attended a Dubai Cup match between Lazio and Marseille on Monday, fuelling speculation he is about to take over at the French side.
But Eriksson, who quit as England boss after the World Cup, told La Provence newspaper: "These were only rumours.
"I'm here on holidays, that's all. I never considered joining Marseille."
Last month, Eriksson's agent, Athol Still, told BBC Sport that the former Lazio boss was close to concluding a deal with a new club.
"Negotiations are going on in three different areas," said Still.
"Nothing is signed, nothing is certain, but I hope things are concluded early in the new year."
