Newly appointed Leicester boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has dismissed suggestions his time at Leicester will only be short-lived after being unveiled at the Walkers Stadium today.
The former England manager, 62, has penned a two-year contract, quickly replacing Paulo Sousa who was dismissed on Friday with the Foxes at the foot of the npower Championship table after a dismal start to the season that had produced just one Championship win.
Leicester has become Eriksson's sixth club in just four years after he parted ways with the Football Association after his second World Cup in 2006.
He spent just seven months at Notts County as director of football before calling time on his spell at Meadow Lane last season, coming after being sacked as Mexico national team boss and Manchester City manager in less than a year.
Most recently, the Swede held a short-term position in charge of Ivory Coast at this summer's World Cup as they failed to reach the knockout stages of the tournament.
But Sven, who also becomes Leicester's seventh manager since chairman Milan Mandaric took over in 2007, insists he is at the club with the long-term aim of guiding them back to the Barclays Premier League.
Talking about his arrival at Leicester, Eriksson said: "I have signed a contract yesterday for two years, I hope it will be longer. In football of course you have to get results and I know what I want here, the owners and chairman want Premier League football.
The new boss was keen to declare his desire for succes: I didn't sign because I want to be a manager in the Championship." He added.
