Nancy Dell'Olio: Sven Goran Eriksson is always there if I need him

Football manager’s ex says they are still friends

Nancy Dell'Olio stuck by Sven Goran Eriksson after he cheated on her with Ulrika Jonsson

Nancy Dell'Olio has revealed that and Sven Goran Eriksson still meet up occasionally.

The footy manager’s ex says there’s no awkwardness and she doesn’t get upset seeing him now, 2 years after their break-up.

‘I know Sven will be there for me if I need him,’ she says. ‘I used to find it upsetting to see him, but not any more.’

‘Now it’s a mixture of all sort of things. It’s too early to say which feelings will be left in the end.’

And the fiery Italian, 50, is quick to deny she was ever in Sven’s shadow.

‘I never thought that. Not once,’ she tells Stella magazine. ‘If anything, I think he felt he was in my shadow.’
