Jose Mourinho 'Accepts One-year Prison Sentence' For Tax Fraud

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has accepted a one-year jail in his tax fraud case with the Spanish state, and has been ordered to pay a €2m (£1.75m) fine.

The 56-year-old, who reached an agreement with tax authorities after being accused of owing nearly €3.3m in undeclared image rights revenue while he was Real Madrid manager in 2011 and 2012, will not serve any time in prison as his sanction is suspended due to the sentence being under two years.

Mourinho went to the Provincial Court on Tuesday to accept the sanction, report Spanish outlet El Pais.
