Public prosecutor's office charges Carlo Ancelotti with tax fraud. If convicted, he would face more than four years in prison.

The Italian coach is said to have evaded one million euros in 2014 and 2015. He is accused of setting up a "confusing" system of shell companies to hide his additional income during his first spell at the club a decade ago. The 64-year-old was Madrid coach from 2013 to 2015 before returning to the club in 2021. He has not yet commented publicly on the accusation.
