Former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson’s ex Sexy Nancy Dell’Olio revealed Svens secrets of sex.

Lesser women might have hidden away. Thrown themselves on the empty double bed and sobbed into their mink coats. Not Nancy Dell’Olio. 

This is not the first time she has been publicly humiliated by her chronically unfaithful former boyfriend Sven-Goran Eriksson – and it probably will not be the last. Yet even in the blackest of moments, even when Sven is at his most unchivalrous, nothing he says or does can quench the essence of Nancy-dom.

Hers is a spirit that should be captured, bottled and used to jet-clean the most recalcitrant of drains. For she is not angry with Eriksson for publishing Sven: My Story. Instead, she is grateful.

‘Really, he couldn’t have done me a bigger favour. He has damaged himself, not me. He lost his reputation long ago, but now with this book – who is going to remember him for the football? Everyone is going  to remember him for the sex,’ she says.

He has written this salacious book, she believes, because he is desperate for money – and that is his own fault, too.

Throughout his international career, Eriksson amassed a £10million fortune – but lost it all when he appointed a businessman called Samir Khan to manage his affairs.

By 2012, Coutts bank warned Eriksson that Khan had wiped out his fortune and he was on the verge of bankruptcy, with tax debts of more than £1million. 

Nancy sighs about all this. ‘If only he had listened to me,’ she says. ‘I know this man [Khan]. I was introduced to him a few times. And I said to Sven: ‘This is a person I do not even want to shake hands with.’

The former weather girl claimed the ex-England boss was as exciting in bed as an “Ikea instruction manual”.

But his former lover Nancy has turned the tables on ­saucy Swede Ulrika.

She said it was Ulrika who was bad in bed.

And she claimed Goran Eriksson was just practising his love-making during the fling to be at his best for her.

The spat comes after the football manager’s raunchy ­revelations in his new book Sven: My Story.

Italian Nancy, 52, who was with Sven for nine years, said Ulrika’s Ikea remark was “very cheap.” She added: “That made me smile – that was her experience.

“If the sex was bad maybe it was her fault. I am not ­surprised because it confirms my theory.

“I do know that sexually Sven didn’t care about anybody except me.

“So she is probably right. It was boring because Sven was having sex with her to prove something to himself.

“He was not really there, if you know what I mean. They are both Swedish, what can you say?”

Nancy, right, boasted: “I know our sex life was good. I was very happy with that and he was very ­happy.” But she admitted being shocked by his affairs and joked: “He was very busy, wasn’t he? Where did he find the time?”

And she took another swipe at Ulrika, 46, for trying to steal Sven, 65.

“Sven could go any time but he chose not to,” she said.

“I find her behaviour ­completely amoral. It is against my ethics. I have ­never tried to steal anybody else’s man.”

The pair split in 2007 but only recently ended a court battle over his £2.7million flat in Belgravia, London, where she had been living.

She said that after the case: “I felt sorry for him.

“He didn’t look well and he is definitely ageing.

“He has financial ­problems and he is not happy.”
