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.
