Sven-Goran Eriksson pulled out of a conference looking back at the World Cup because he was fed up with accusations of incompetence from his critics, according to UEFA president Lennart Johansson.
Eriksson was due to be a guest speaker at the FIFA international football symposium in Berlin but Johansson, a Swede like Eriksson, said the former England manager had nothing to gain by coming.
Johansson said: "He has had enough. He thinks people have being saying how incompetent he is, and that, just because England have won now a match, people are saying how bad he was."
