It looks like Portsmouth will not sing Sven Goran Eriksson as Eriksson has been reassured over his future by Mexican Football Federation president Justino Compean.

Portsmouth is reportedly very interested to sign Eriksson. The speculation of the end of Eriksson's career with the Mexican national side mounted up when Javier Aguirre (Mexican's favourite) was sacked by Atletico Madrid. However, the reassurance given by Compean about Eriksson's future with Mexico confirmed that the rumours will just be rumours.

Compean said, "We fully stand behind Eriksson because our objective is to reach the World Cup. And we will be at the World Cup."

Eriksson said that he is determined to lead Mexico to the next World Cup. Eriksson said, "Why will I continue? Because I still have a running contract and I think that I would be a man without courage if I quit now."

There you have it Portsmouth. No Eriksson for you. So, Avram Grant will be the next target. If we can play with time, maybe this should be Grant's first job as manager rather than at Chelsea.

Sven Goren Eriksson has hinted last night that he may return to the Premier League with Portsmouth. Last night's defeat against USA may cost him the job and forced him to look for a job elsewhere.

Eriksson said, "The Premier League is of course a possibility in the future, if they still want me. Anything is possible, but as things are in today's football I've stopped making plans for the future. Life goes up and down fast in this sport, tomorrow you suddenly don't have a job, the day after you have a super job."

Eriksson said that he won't mind being linked with clus from BPL such as Chelsea and Portsmouth. "It would have been worse if my name never was linked to clubs looking for managers," he said.
