England boss to snub Chelsea for Real Madrid offer

England boss Sven Goran Eriksson is ready to reject Chelsea and accept a move to Real Madrid next season.

The Mirror says agents working on behalf of the Spanish club have already sounded out Eriksson over his availability.

The Football Association and Stamford Bridge hierarchy are putting pressure on the Swede to clarify his intentions before the end of the month, Eriksson is ready to rebuff them in favour of the job he has always craved.

Madrid president Florentino Perez has told associates he is 'fed up' with the Portuguese coach and is looking for alternatives, with Eriksson top of his hitlist.
