Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is believed to have accepted a last November suspended prison sentence after a €3.3m ($3.8m) tax fraud. He had been under investigation by Spain’s Inland Revenue, although the case against him was declared closed one-year. Mourinho accepted that he concealed the amount of money he made from image rights while managing Real Madrid by using offshore companies. He has been fined 60% of the earnings, which equates to €1.9m (£1.78m). Mourinho has also accepted a compliance agreement that prevents him going to trial and commutes the sentence.
