Sven Goran Eriksson insists he has no concerns over his reported salary for Ivory Coast.

The former England and Mexico boss has been appointed manager of Ivory Coast on a contract through to the end of the World Cup finals.

He is reportedly on a six-figure deal with bonuses, and some have questioned his salary.

But Eriksson insists he has no qualms about his wage.

“I don’t think I am paid that well, but I’m happy,” he told TALKsport.

“I don’t think I’m even close to what the England manager has. But that’s okay for me; I have no problems with that.

“What is most important is to do a good World Cup.

“It’s a World Cup and a good team, a lot of good football players and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Eriksson’s agent Athole Still also defended his salary.

“The deal that I did for Sven with the Ivory Coast was done extremely amicably,” he said.

“There was no hard bargaining. The money that he is being paid is money that was offered by the Ivory Coast. I did not get it enhanced in anyway at all.

“If I had wanted I could have negotiated much more for Sven. We didn’t do so.”
