Real Madrid's head coach Carlo Ancelotti sits in the dock at the National Court in Madrid, Spain, April 2, 2025

REAL MADRID coach Carlo Ancelotti attended the opening of his trial on tax evasion charges in Spain today.

The highly successful Italian manager spent two-and-a-half hours inside the Madrid-based courthouse before telling reporters “all is well” upon leaving in a car.

Spanish prosecutors have accused Ancelotti of defrauding the state of €1 million (£834,371) in 2014 and 2015. State prosecutors are seeking a prison sentence of up to four years and nine months on two counts of tax fraud.
