Sven forgets his worries to treat Nancy to dinner

He is known for his calm demeanour but if Sven Goran Eriksson is worried about a new tell-all book to be written by ex-girlfriend Nancy Dell'Olio, he didn't show it, as he stepped out with the fiery Italian on a very public dinner date.

Instead of fretting about what his ex may say about him in her new book, My Beautiful Game, Sven instead sparked rumours that the couple are back together by taking Nancy for an intimate dinner at a London restaurant.

Are they or aren't back: Sven and Nancy enjoy a very public dinner together despite worries over what she may reveal in a tell-all book she's writing

Sven, 59, and Nancy, 43, were seen enjoying an intimate meal at Locanda Locatelli in the West End, even though Nancy's new book, published in June, is set to reveal secrets about the famously private Swede.

One onlooker said: "Sven looked happy and relaxed. He looked like he was eating snails and drinking vodka and tonic."

The pair were unafraid to be photographed together and left by the front door.

Nancy spoke about her new book in Publishing News, saying it discusses "the all-too-public crises that threatened to overwhelm me".

She added: "My book will appeal to all football fans intrigued by the lives and insights at the top of the game."

Miss Dell'Olio is understood to tell all about the WAGS in Baden Baden and Sven's dalliances with Ulrika Jonsson and Faria Alam.
