Eriksson, 64, has been unemployed since being sacked by Leicester City in October 2011.

BEC Tero Sasana play in the Thai Premier League, and have won the title on two separate occasions.

It is expected that the former Ivory Coast boss will take charge of the club's next game against Chainat FC on Saturday.

The Swede previously enjoyed spells as manager with Sampdoria, Lazio and Manchester City.
