RIP Benfica legend

I think his most sucessful years were with SS Lazio, from 1997 until 2001.

Perhaps, but that doesn't invalidate my statement. You can be a legend of 2 or even 3 different clubs.

And most Benfica fans would consider Eriksson a legend of our club and he always kept Benfica close to his heart.

His six years managing England were... not dull I am going to say. Highs and lows. He also managed my team, Leicester City, along the way. I was actually watching the documentary on him on Prime just the night before he passed.
