Create external table using iceberg not working

I'm trying to create a external iceberg table on top of files I have in s3 created using a spark job that runs outside of databricks using Hadoop catalog.

Create External table table_name using iceberg location 's3://myicebergbucket/iceberg_table_path'

But I'm getting this error

Managed iceberg tables do not support replace on external tables.

Is there a solution to this?
