'Bora' Milutinović recommended to current México boss Sven-Göran Eriksson to get used to the criticism that he has received in the past weeks, after the Swede manifested his dislike of judgments of his work in the press. Former coach of the México National team, Velibor 'Bora' Milutinović, indicated that Sven-Göran Eriksson will have to get accustomed to criticism if he wants to stay at the helm of el Tri.

The 'miracle worker' also commented on Eriksson's dislike of negative criticism of his work in the press, and declared that judgment against the National side has always existed and it is only a matter of the current boss to accept what is constructive for the whole team.

"It is part of the work," stated Milutinović.  "Mr. Eriksson has to be aware that this occurs and be expecting it to come.

"A positive atmosphere is always best to work and for the entire world, unfortunately there are a lot of people that emit opinions that can affect the atmosphere of the team."

Still, the Serbian-Mexican recognized the importance that the current México boss has been made aware of the complicated rivals in the CONCACAF region.

Regarding his coaching status, 'Bora' revealed that he has some offers and does not count out any possibility of coaching a National side during World Cup 2010.

"There is still a lot of time and a lot can happen, but I would like it to occur to me, to be in another World Cup...but I must take it with calm," he expressed.

Milutinović traveled to El Salvador to observe the work of Mexican coach Carlos de los Cobos in front of the Salvadorean National team.
