Jose Mourinho has accepted a one-year prison sentence for tax fraud, but he will not serve the term under Spanish law.
In Spain, first-time offenders do not usually serve any time behind bars for sentences of two years or less, although Mourinho will have to pay a fine of around £1.75m.
Spanish outlet El Pais reports that Mourinho went to the Provincial Court in Madrid on Tuesday to accept the charges against him.
Mourinho was charged of two tax-related crimes, each equating to six months in jail. These charges relate to undeclared revenue regarding image rights in 2011 and 2012, when Mourinho was manager of Real Madrid.
