Eriksson died aged 76 after becoming terminally ill with pancreatic cancer.
The Swede made history by becoming the first foreign manager of the England national team in 2001 and he led the Three Lions until 2006.
William wrote on social media following the news: “Sad to hear about the passing of Sven-Göran Eriksson.
“I met him several times as England manager and was always struck by his charisma and passion for the game.
“My thoughts are with his family and friends. A true gentleman of the game. W.”
