Eriksson stated to the Swedish radio station P1 in January that he was only expected to live for a year.

Eriksson talks on his life and death in the "Sven" documentary on Amazon Prime, saying that life is about accepting death for what it is. He wants to be remembered as a kind individual who gave it his all. After departing Swedish club IF Karlstad in February 2023, where he had served as advisor, Eriksson has not been employed. Nonetheless, he captained a Liverpool Legends squad against Ajax Legends in March, calling it a dream to lead them after earlier disclosing his childhood allegiance to the side.
