Mourinho paid €26m in taxes in Spain while managing Real Madrid – agent

Jose Mourinho’s agent says the Manchester United manager paid more than €26 million ($27m) in taxes when he lived in Spain from 2010-13.

The information was made public on Tuesday by Gestifute, a company run by Mourinho’s agent, Jorge Mendes.

The Portuguese company has been releasing details about client tax declarations after European media outlets published what they claimed were details of apparent tax arrangements made by top soccer players and coaches, including Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil.

Gestifute, which also has Ronaldo as a client, has already published documents allegedly showing that Spanish fiscal authorities have certified that Mourinho and Real Madrid star Ronaldo are “up to date on … obligations.”

Mourinho coached Real Madrid from 2010-13. The dollar value of his tax payments at the time would have been higher, given the euro’s relative strength during that period.

The Portuguese coach took charge of United this season.
