Eriksson's $4m pay under fire

Reuters - Sven Goran Eriksson's brief tenure as the Ivory Coast's coach, which lasted all of three months and three games, earned him a cool US$3 million (S$4.2 million) pay packet.

But it has also earned the country's football body a lot of criticism, reported Soccernet.

"It was very clear when I took the job it was to to the end of our World Cup and that is today," said Eriksson after Ivory Coast's futile 3-0 defeat of North Korea.

Critics said such salary was not justified for a man had weeks to make an impression on the team and who also seemed to have no time to embrace and learn local culture
