Eriksson to meet Man City squad
Sven-Goran Eriksson will meet Manchester City's players at their Carrington training ground on Wednesday morning, BBC Sport understands.
Eriksson, 59, flew up to Manchester from London on Tuesday evening.
The former England coach agreed a three-year contract in principle last week to take over as City's manager.
He will not be formally unveiled as boss until City's prospective new owner Thaksin Shinawatra takes his shareholding in the club past 75%.
Eriksson will succeed Stuart Pearce, who was sacked at the end of last season.
The former Benfica, Roma, Fiorentina, Sampdoria and Lazio boss has been out of football since leaving the England job after the 2006 World Cup.
City's players report back for training on Wednesday and Eriksson will be there to meet them for the first time.
But he will not be officially named as City's new manager until former Thai Prime Minister Shinawatra takes his shareholding in the club past the 75% that will allow him to take it off the Stock Exchange.
Thaksin currently has a 65.78% share in the Premier League club.
He made Eriksson his top managerial target and is understood to have made a £50m transfer fund available.
Eriksson has already sounded out Roland Andersson about becoming his assistant at Eastlands.
Currently Sweden's assistant coach, Andersson said he was "flattered" to be offered the role.

Well first off, he flew from London to Manchester? Not heard of cars? But seriously, it is nice to see him back in management, he didn't exactly do a bad job at England, he just didn't seem to meet the FA's expectations, what I can say is he did a hell of a lot better than McLaren in doing that's for sure. Eriksson is a smart enough man to make the right signings and although the loss of Barton and Distin is a blow, I am sure he can find suitable replacements.
