Sven Goran Eriksson admits he would take 'great satisfaction' from winning a trophy with Manchester City.

The Swede took charge of the Premier League club last summer and was set a three-year timescale to take City into the UEFA Champions League.

Eriksson is content with his team's progress and the former England head coach is planning a long tenure at the City of Manchester Stadium.

"I'm not saying that I want a new contract, but of course I can see myself staying a long time," said Eriksson in The Sun. "I like it here very much - apart from the weather.

"I like it because it's a project. It's something that we all want to do well together in. I'm in the Premier League, I'm at a big club. I am very happy here.

"Will I need more than two years to bring success? That could happen, but we still have two years to go."

City have failed to win a major trophy for over 30 years and Eriksson is determined to end the club's silverware drought.

He has secured success at many of his previous clubs, but believes winning something with City would rank among his finest achievements.

"Winning trophies in football is one of the best things you can do," added Eriksson. "If trophies come here it would be even better than to win with Benfica.

"It would give me great satisfaction because we know we are working with a club that hasn't won anything for a very long time.

"If you can win with a club like that it is worth more than at a club like Benfica, who are supposed to win trophies every year."
