A few weeks ago, Carlo Ancelotti put an end to his great adventure at
Real Madrid To cross the Atlantic and take control of the Brazil team. A choice that allowed the Italian technician to close his Spanish chapter.
But a parallel file and much less glorious brings it up. It does not concern the sports component, but the fiscal situation of the one who was the Real Madrid coach between 2013 and 2015, then between 2021 and 2025.
Carlo Ancelotti, new Brazil coach.
Carlo Ancelotti was in fact sentenced to one year in prison by the Madrid court. Expected in the Ancelotti clan, this decision was made public this Wednesday. The Italian should be able to get out of it, if we trust previous cases, like those of superstars spent by Spain, like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar.
How Ancelotti should avoid prison
The verdict rendered by the Madrid court is rather mild compared to the requisition made by the prosecution last April. Ancelotti is concretely criticized for not having paid the tax on image rights when he was a coach of the White House in 2014, during his first visit.
The first penalty was four years and nine months old, with a fine of € 3.2 million. It was reduced to one year and 386,000 euros. Spanish legislation avoids incarceration for a sentence less than two years if it is pronounced after a ” crime non violent“. In addition, Carlo Ancelotti, who had focused on having followed the recommendations of his employer, was bleached for identical accusations concerning 2015.
