England boss Sven-Goran is expected to take legal action against British tabloid News of the World for what he called “breach of confidence”, BBC reported on Friday.

Eriksson’s lawyers insisted that the tabloid’s infamous report about the England boss that was published last week was a plotted scheme to smudge the coach’s reputation.

“It is now clear that this was all a highly sophisticated deception by the newspaper," Eriksson’s lawyers were quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"The resulting articles were a gross invasion of privacy, and the discussions, which our clients were expressly asked to keep confidential, were reported out of context in a distorted and sensationalised manner so as to provide a spurious pretext for the headlines which appeared.

"Our clients' position is that stories of this sort, and the distortion of what was said during confidential discussions in order to create the bogus appearance of some legitimate public interest, must be remedied," they added.

The Sweded coach had revealed to an undercover reporter that he would quit his coaching job if England won the World Cup and move to Aston Villa, in addition to making comments about players like captain David Beckham and Michael Owen.

On another hand, a New of the World spokeswomen insisted that the board will continue to back their undercover reported and the report itself and promised that there will be more revelations in the tabloid’s next week’s edition.

"We stand by the publication of our story 100%. Our investigation uncovered facts about Sven-Goran Eriksson which we believe fans and players had a right to know,” the News of the World spokeswoman said.

“There will be further revelations published on Sunday," she added.
