Discover Emmy-nominated Sven, the story of England's first foreign manager Sven-Goran Eriksson. Sven is the stranger-than-fiction story about one of football’s most unpredictable characters.
The documentary, directed by Claudia Corbisiero (Bobby Robson: More Than A Manager), delves into Sven’s rise, tabloid-emblazoned fall, and the heartbreaking reality of Sven’s terminal cancer diagnosis. It features various characters from his life including David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Roberto Mancini, Kasper Schmeichel, Nancy Dell’Olio, and Faria Alam.
Sven is produced by Whisper and Up&Away Film Entertainment, directed by Corbisiero, produced by Chris Grubb (Ben Stokes: Phoenix From The Ashes) and Drew Masters (14 Peaks, Nothing iI Impossible), and executive produced by James Quinn for Up&Away, and Sunil Patel and Mark Cole for Whisper. Sven Goran-Eriksson died on 26 August. In the documentary about his life, Eriksson delivered a message to his fans: 'Don't be sorry, smile.'
Sven is in contention for an International Emmy after being nominated in the category of Best Sports Documentary. The winner will be announced on 24 November.
