Russian national football coach to plead guilty of tax evasion

Russian national football team coach, Guus Hiddink, is to plead guilty to charges of tax evasion. Lawyers for the Dutchman said he has now agreed to the charges after initially denying them.

The manager paid less tax by falsely claiming to be resident in Belgium.

He could now face a prison term, with prosecutors calling for a sentence of up to ten months.

The Dutch courts will make a final decision on February 27.
