Tax authorities order Real Madrid to withhold Ancelotti’s salary
Carlo Ancelotti is back in Spain after replacing Zinedine Zidane in the Real Madrid head coaching job. But, his return to Spain sees the tactician back in a country where he has some tax problems.
On Monday, Ancelotti appeared on Hacienda – Spain’s tax authorities – list of major debtors. Now, Real Madrid have reportedly been told to hold on to his wages by the authorities.
According to an exclusive from El Mundo, Real Madrid received a garnishment order from the tax agency 48 hours after announcing Ancelotti’s hire.

Hacienda are chasing 1,462,562 euros they believe the Italian owes from when he was previously employed in Spain, between 2013 and 2015.
It is asserted that Ancelotti didn’t correctly declare his income during those two years, with issues arising from image rights. He has been ordered to appear on July 23 at the 35th Madrid investigating court because of this.
Now, he and the club also have this garnishment order to deal with.
