Redknapp, 62, and Mandaric, 71, are jointly accused of two counts of cheating the public revenue.

They appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court, in central London, for the first hearing in the prosecution process.

District Judge Timothy Workman adjourned the case until April 14 and released both men on unconditional bail.

Former Portsmouth manager Redknapp spoke only to confirm his personal details and gave his address as Poole, Dorset.

Mandaric, now chairman of Leicester City FC, gave his address in court documents as the Walkers Stadium in the city.

It is alleged they evaded tax and National Insurance contributions due between April 1 2002 and November 28 2007.

Mr Workman said the plea and case management hearing will be held at Southwark Crown Court.
The two men were charged last month following an inquiry involving City of London Police and HM Revenue and Customs.

Speaking outside the court, Mandaric's solicitor Mark Wilson said his client will be "completely vindicated". Redknapp did not comment.
