<p>Mourinho’s plea deal comes two weeks after former Real Madrid player Cristiano Ronaldo pleaded guilty to tax fraud from the time he played in Spain.</p>
<p>The Portugal forward received a two-year suspended sentence and was ordered to pay nearly 19 million euros (£16.7 million) to Spanish authorities.</p>
<p>Mourinho had appeared before a judge in 2017 and denied any wrongdoing, saying he had paid everything he owed to Spanish tax authorities from the time he coached Real Madrid.</p>

<div class="ctx_content">
<p>He said he left the country in 2013 with the “information and the conviction” that he was up to date with his tax obligations.</p>
<p>Gestifute, the agency that represents both Ronaldo and Mourinho, released a statement at the time saying the coach paid “more than 26 million euros (then £23 million) in taxes, with an average tax rate over 41%”.</p>
