Nancy Dell’Olio, once known as the First Lady of Football, is now in mourning. Despite having separated from former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson over 15 years ago, Dell’Olio reflects, “When someone you loved dies, they take a piece of you with them, and Sven has taken a piece of me.”
As the football world remembers Sven following his death from pancreatic cancer at age 76, tributes have been pouring in from notable figures. For Dell’Olio, grieving is particularly complex given their past relationship and her own public profile.
