Eriksson in talks with Leicester after Sousa takes leave • Sven-Goran Eriksson in frame to replace Paulo Sousa• Club expect to make 'a quick appointment'Leicester City are in talks with Sven-Goran Eriksson as they search for a replacement for Paulo Sousa, who left the club today. Eriksson is currently without a job after leading Ivory Coast at the World Cup in South Africa and being in charge of Manchester City and Mexico before that. Martin O'Neill, it is understood, is not going to make a return as manager for the club.Leicester said in a statement on their official website today that they expect to make a "quick appointment" following the surprise announcement that Sousa was leaving the club only a few months into his reign.In fact, Sousa talked only yesterday about how he felt he had the support of the players, despite only one league win in nine games this season. Leicester are bottom of the Championship after two straight defeats, conceding 10 goals in the process."Of course everyone is sad for the results, but the feedback I receive every day from the players is strong about spirit and effort and supporting each other," he said yesterday. "I feel support for myself and my ideas, especially from the players, and that is the main thing. As a manager the main thing is to feel that the players support you and your ideas."Leicester CityMartin O'NeillSven-Göran ErikssonMarcus Christensonguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
Crystal Palace 0-1 Millwall | Championship match report Theo Robinson's strike proved enough for Millwall to beat struggling Crystal Palace, who were later reduced to 10 men when Claude Davis was sent off, in the south London derby.Millwall took the lead in the 53rd minute, courtesy of Robinson's neat finish and second league goal of the season. Steve Morison out-muscled Julian Bennett and nodded the ball on for the fast-moving Robinson, who rounded the Palace keeper, Julian Speroni, with ease and slid the ball, which perhaps shaved the post on its way, into an empty net.The result leaves the Eagles without a win in five matches, and in the bottom two of the Championship. Palace enjoyed some excellent pressure during the early stages, and a good break at pace gave Wilfried Zaha a chance but he fired high and wide.Millwall went close through Theo Robinson's fizzed shot and Chris Hackett's toe-poked effort on the half-hour, while Patrick McCarthy spurned a glorious opportunity for Palace before half-time, blazing high over David Forde's goal from six yards. Zaha had another chance, going close this time.Palace had another great opportunity as they searched for an equaliser, with Forde doing brilliantly to deny Pablo Counago and then Zaha on the follow-up as the home side piled on the pressure during the closing stages. But, with seconds left, Davis was sent off for an alleged stamp.Crystal PalaceMillwallChampionshipguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
