Soccer: Eriksson: I want to see out FA contract

Sven-Goran Eriksson has been taken aback by suggestions that he does not want to see out his five-year contract with the Football Association.

Sven-Goran Eriksson has been taken aback by suggestions that he does not want to see out his five-year contract with the Football Association.

Reports claimed the Swede did expect to be in charge of the national side for the full length of his deal.

However, Eriksson maintains that his comments in an interview have been misinterpreted.

In a statement by the FA, Eriksson said: "I have a contract with England for five years, which I am extremely proud of.

"I hope to survive and complete that contract, but of course in football you never know."

Eriksson has won all five games since taking charge at the start of the year and has put England's bid to reach the 2002 World Cup finals firmly back on track.
