The claim of talks with Eriksson directly contradicts Eriksson’s agent Athole Still, who described as “absolute rubbish” claims that the former England manager had been in contact with Thaksin.

“That is one of the names that my advisers told me about. He is a very capable coach,” Thaksin told Sky Sports News.

All the buzz right now is about Kaka’s potential move to Real Madrid for a World record fee, however i’ve decided to shift the attention to his other half, his lovely wife Caroline Celico.

In 2005, two days before Christmas, Kaká married 18-year-old Caroline Celico at the Reborn in Christ Church in São Paulo. She was born on July 26, 1987 to Rosangela Lyra, the director of Dior in Brazil, and entrepreneur Celso Celico. She and Kaká met in 2001 while she was a student and he was playing for São Paulo FC. The wedding drew 600 guests, including fellow Brazilian footballers Cafu, Ronaldo, Adriano, Dida, Júlio Baptista, and then-Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira. Caroline is currently attending university in Milan, where she plans to earn a fashion business degree.

That’s sweet, and to think she isn’t even 20-years-old yet! (at the time of this post).
