Soccer: Real Madrid’s coach Ancelotti to go on trial for tax dodging

# Soccer: Real Madrid’s legendary coach Carlo Ancelotti will go on trial next week for allegedly failing to declare income to Spain’s tax office. Prosecutors are seeking a jail term of four years and nine months for the 65-year-old Italian, accusing him of having cost Spain’s treasury more than 19.5-million-rand in undeclared earnings in 2014 and 2015. The trial will begin on Wednesday and it is expected to last two days. Ancelotti, who as a coach has won a record five Champions League trophies, must be present for the hearings.
