"It means everything to me to be at this club, there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be. We have everything here," the club's official website quoted Eriksson as saying.
"We have an amazing team, we have an amazing squad and we have a good group of people around the team to support us. It's the ideal place to be and I couldn't see myself being anywhere else," she added.
