Sven-Göran Eriksson ex-wife: Meet Ann-Christine Pettersson

Ann-Christine Pettersson is the ex-wife of seasoned football manager, Sven-Göran Eriksson

The duo were married for 17 years, from 1977 to 1994. Though details about their private life are not available, reports show that the marriage ended due to an affair Eriksson had during their union.

Ann-Christine has largely kept out of the limelight since their divorce, making information about her personal life and current whereabouts limited.

The headlines were ablaze in 2002 when he, already in a committed relationship with lawyer Nancy Dell’Olio, engaged in a brief affair with Swedish TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson. The 19-year age gap between them added fuel to the media frenzy surrounding this liaison.

Eriksson’s romantic entanglements didn’t end there. In 2004, still entwined with Dell’Olio, he embarked on an affair with Faria Alam, his secretary at the Football Association.

This revelation strained his relationship with Dell’Olio even further, though she initially chose to weather the storm.

While these extramarital escapades weren’t the sole instances in Eriksson’s personal life, they were undoubtedly the most scrutinized.

The repercussions extended beyond his home, casting shadows over his professional career, particularly during his tenure as England manager.
