Sven still 4th in boss pay league

FOOTIE flop Sven Goran Eriksson is still one of Europe’s best-paid bosses — even though he is UNEMPLOYED.

The failed England coach pocketed £3.5million in 2006, and is still being paid a whopping £6,500 a day by the FA while he looks for a job.

That puts him fourth in the managers’ pay league, despite not working since England’s World Cup disaster last summer.

No club has yet offered Eriksson, 59, a job. Newcastle United — the last club to be linked with the slippery Swede — recently laughed off reports that they wanted to sign him.

Top earning boss is Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho on £6.8million a year — way ahead of his closest challenger Sir Alex Ferguson, on £4.1million at Man United.

Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello comes just ahead of Eriksson in third place, with £3.9million.
