Sven Will I See You Again?

‘WITH Victoria Beckham fighting to be recognised in America, Nancy Dell’Olio is making a bid to be the new top footballers’ wife.

More Chianti than Chardonnay

Granted, her beau Sven Goran Eriksson is no longer a player – he is manager of the England national team – but her pout and candour are cast in the mould of Mrs Beckham.

Leaning back against a tree in her native Rome, Nancy offers us the pearl of wisdom that ”the only person you can trust is your partner”.

Trust to do what? Even Hello!’s syrupy tones cannot add much sweetness to the fact that Nancy was married to lawyer Giancarlo Mazza when she fell for Sven.

”Your relationship is a gift,” says Nancy. ”There will be rainstorms but they can make your relationship stronger – and without them love would be easy and not worth having.”

Are we to deduce that she and Giancarlo are just going though something of rough patch, waiting to emerge over the other side in a haze of golden sunlight?

As Nancy says: ”I believe in marriage” – as sure a sign as any that Sven’s days are numbered.
