Uli Hoeness Declines Appeal, Will Serve Jail Time

MUNICH, GERMANY - MARCH 14: Head coach of Munich Pep Guardiola reacts during a press conference at the offices of German football club FC Bayern following the announcement by Uli Hoeness that he has resigned as club governing board chairman and will not appeal the three and half year jail sentence handed down by a Munich court the day before on March 14, 2014 in Munich, Germany. A judge found Hoeness guilty of evading taxes totaling at least EUR 27.2 million and declared his pre-emptive attempt at turning himself in to German tax authorities as invalid. Hoeness has been a pillar in German football club history, beginning with his career as a stellar professional player with FC Bayern in the 1970s to his role as FC Bayern club chairman, during which the Bundesliga team has been among the most successful in Germany.
