XtraTime Web Desk: Further trouble for Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, as he has reportedly accepted a suspended one-year prison sentence after defrauding the Spanish tax authorities of around €3.3million (£2.9m).

The Portuguese coach has remained under investigation by Spain’s Inland Revenue despite declaring the case brought against him closed in November of last year.
‘I did not answer, I did not argue. I paid and signed with the state that I am in compliance and the case is closed,’ Mourinho told reporters as he left the court in Pozuelo de Alarcon exactly 10 months ago, though a court spokesman insisted he remained under official investigation.

Talks have continued between Mourinho’s lawyers and Spanish tax authorities since then, and the newspaper El Mundo has published the final details of the agreement.
Mourinho will accept in writing that he concealed from the treasury his income from image rights corresponding to the years 2011 and 2012 when he was managing Real Madrid.
