Javier Aguirre, former Egyptian coach and former Real Zaragoza, denied having been involved in the so-called problem of match-fixing in La Liga.
A court in Valencia, Spain, has decided to re-examine the case of violation of the result of a league match disputed in 2011 between Real Zaragoza and Levante.
The case concerns 42 people, including former Mexico coach Javier Aguirre, then coach of Real Zaragoza, and the investigation will continue until September 30th.
Aguirre was in court Thursday morning to testify to the accusation that he had manipulated the results for profit.
"This money was taken from the bank, I signed a white document," said Aguirre during the trial, which quoted his Spanish newspaper Marca. "It does not mean that I have money.
The prosecutor asked Aguirre to explain two transfers of 50,000 and 40,000 euros from May 19 to 21 on his bank account.
"I have signed blank documents and that is why I am here for overconfidence," said Aguirre.
"The bank told me that everything was arranged over the phone and that the money was returned.This account was checked to see the balance and I went to the bank from time to time."
Asked in advance about the falsification of the result, Aguirre replied: "There is no possibility, the probability is zero."
The match was in the final league of the 2010-2011 season, when Real Zaragoza avoided relegation to the second division with a 2-1 home win over Levante. Gabi, the current Qatari player and former captain of Atletico Madrid, scored both goals.
Of the 42 defendants, 36 are players, including Gabi and André Herrera from Paris Saint-Germain.
The judiciary is suspected of having paid 965,000 euros in Zaragoza into bank accounts belonging to some of its players and some members of its administrative structure, and to distribute this cash money to Levante players to allow them to miss the match.
