Shock for the former Real Madrid coach: Carlo Ancelotti has been sentenced to one year in prison and fined €386,000 for tax fraud by a Madrid court.
Ancelotti was found guilty of failing to declare image rights income in 2014 while managing Real Madrid. However, he was cleared of similar charges for 2015.
