Dec 13, 2024, 06:53 AM
Li Tie, the former head coach of China's national men's football team and a former Everton player, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for bribery, match-fixing, and corruption. Between 2015 and 2021, Li accepted bribes worth over $16 million to select certain players for the national team and to help football clubs win competitions. His sentencing is part of a broader crackdown on corruption in Chinese football, which has also seen several high-profile figures, including former officials from the Chinese Football Association, receiving jail sentences for similar charges.
