Top paid football managers in the world

The top-tier football managers at the club and international levels are nearly as famous as are highest paid soccer players in the world. Those highest paid managers claim titles for their organizations. They are also found liking their supporters sing chants and songs in their honor.

These amazing and successful highest paid football managers on the biggest stages of the games are financially set for life.

English Premier League is believed by many to be the best league in the world. Though they are certainly lacking that much portion of these highest paid soccer coaches. Another arguably best League, La Liga is believed often responsible for any of the five highest paid football managers in the world. Unfortunately Serie A does not even make the list.

According to report released by France football magazine, the rich list of the highest earning football managers in the world.

Top on the chart is Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, the Portuguese tactician earns a whooping £13.2m to make him the most expensive soccer manager in the world.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ranked fourth having made £8.3m in 2014, while Manchester United’s Louis van Gaal is fifth with £7.3m.

Former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas also features in the top 10. The Zenit St Petersburg boss made a cool £6.25m in 2014.

Top on the chart is Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, the Portuguese tactician world’s highest-paid manager, according to France Football’s annual wages survey.

1. Jose Mourinho – £13.2m – Jose Mourinho

Who else but ‘The Special One’? The Portuguese was never going to come cheap in his return to Stamford Bridge.

The Portuguese tactician banked £13.2million in salary and sponsorship deals in 2014, £1.8m more than his nearest competitor, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti.

2. Carlo Ancelotti – £11.4m – Real Madrid

The Spanish giants are unafraid of spending big to land the world’s best, but if the Italian fails to deliver a trophy this season Real will be tempted to tear up his lucrative contract in the summer.

3. Pep Guardiola – £11.2m – Bayern Munich

Arguably the world’s greatest manager, the success of Bayern Munich since his arrival has no doubt justified the high price to secure his services.

4. Arsene Wenger – £8.3m – Arsenal

The Gunners boss has been credited for keeping the club out of debt; particularly through his strict transfer policy and reluctance to meet huge wage demands, though that’s a bit rich from the Frenchman.

5. Louis van Gaal – £7.3m – Manchester United

Is yet to convince the Old Trafford faithful that he is the man to replace Sir Alex Ferguson, but if the Dutchman secures Champions League football for next season, the Red Devils will consider the investment justified?

6. Fabio Capello – £6.6m – Russia national team

The 68-year-old could comfortably call it a day on his managerial career – but while banking almost £7m per-year, it’s no surprise the former England boss hasn’t retired.

7. Andre Villas-Boas – £6.2m – Zenit Saint

Petersburg

Considered a failure in the Premier League, sacked by both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, but whether his reputation remains intact or not – his bank balance is certainly not struggling.

8. Sven-Goran Eriksson – £5.9m – Shanghai SIPG

A stunning figure for the former England manager – it’s no wonder Eriksson turned down interest from a host of clubs in England to join the Chinese Super League outfit.

9. Jurgen Klopp – £5.3m – Borussia Dortmund

The Bundesliga outfit has spent the majority of this season facing a relegation battle, despite their manager pocketing no small fee to deliver the goods.

10. David Moyes & Laurent Blanc – £5.1m – Real Sociedad & Paris Saint-Germain

While suffering a poor time at Manchester United, the Scot earned a huge £7m during his short reign, including a £4.5m pay-off, after being sacked just 10 months into a six-year contract. Not a bad year really for Moyes.

Laurent Blanc, meanwhile, given the financial strength of PSG is no surprise to break into the top 10.
