Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has addressed the prosecutor’s request for a prison sentence, labeling the situation as an “old story” that began eight years ago. Ancelotti’s comments come in light of allegations regarding his residency status during his tenure in Spain.
“The Prosecutor’s Office thinks that I was a resident and I was not. I have already paid the fine,” Ancelotti stated, asserting his innocence in the matter. The experienced coach, currently at the helm of Real Madrid, has been embroiled in this legal issue which dates back to his previous spell in Spanish football.
Ancelotti firmly believes in his innocence, emphasizing that the dispute over his residency status has been resolved from his perspective, notably through the payment of a fine. The Italian tactician’s career has been distinguished, with successful stints across Europe’s top leagues, making his current legal situation a point of significant interest and concern within the football community.
