Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, in court: I only needed six million euros.
Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, appeared in court on charges of evading one million euros in taxes for the years 2014 and 2015, stating that he never considered committing fraud.
For me, image rights were not important.
Coaches are not like players who sell jerseys; they are not important.
I just wanted to receive six million euros net.
Ancelotti also mentioned that he thought it was correct when Real Madrid suggested this method of paying image rights.
I contacted my financial advisor; I never imagined it would be considered fraud.
Prosecutors have requested a sentence of four years and nine months in prison for the Real Madrid coach, accusing him of failing to pay more than one million euros, equivalent to 11 million dollars, in taxes related to income from his image rights during his first tenure at the club in 2014 and 2015.
