Sven being lined up for next big-money job - in Iran

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has been offered the opportunity to take charge of Iranian club Persepolis.

The Swedish boss is the top target for Iranian club Persepolis FC, which is based in the capital city Tehran.

The former Manchester City manager, who was sacked by Leicester last month, is reportedly ready to fly to Dubai for talks with the club's general manager, Mohammad Ruyanian.

Ruyanian said: "We are going to sign a big coach. We have negotiated with Sven Goran Eriksson."
