🤑 Where is José? The 10 best paid managers in the world | OneFootball

Needless to say, José Mourinho is earning a lot of money at Tottenham.

The Portuguese has dominated the headlines this week since arriving in north London. One talking point has been his astonishing yearly salary of £15m (€17.5m).

But where does he now rank in the world’s best paid managers? Transfermarkt have handily laid out the top 10, and there are some surprises …

10. Jürgen Klopp

Club: Liverpool Salary: €8m-per-year

Perhaps the German deserves a little bit more considering the work he’s doing with the Reds?

=8. Ernesto Valverde

Club: Barcelona Salary: €9m-per-year

Valverde’s into the last year of his Camp Nou contract. Even if he extends, we wouldn’t bet on a significant pay rise.

=8. Thomas Tuchel

Club: PSG Salary: €9m-per-year

Bayern Munich will have to pay up if they are indeed interested in tempting Tuchel away from the French capital.

7. Antonio Conte

Club: Inter Salary: €11m-per-year

Challenging Juventus for the title doesn’t come cheap, you know.

=5. Zinedine Zidane

Club: Real Madrid Salary: €12m-per-year

They say never go back. I guess ‘they’ were never offered €12m-a-year to go back!

=5. Fabio Cannavaro

Club: Guangzhou Evergrande Salary: €12m-per-year

Yes, Italy legend Cannavaro and Ballon d’Or winner is a manager! And a well-paid one! Having never managed a club outside of China. Good work if you can get it.

4. Rafa Benítez

Club: Dalian Yifang Salary: €13.5m-per-year

Another man now in the Chinese Super League, Rafa’s European pedigree sees him edge out Cannavaro as the league’s the top earner.

3. Diego Simeone

Club: Atlético Madrid Salary: €15.4m-per-year

Well, that’s what happens when you’re completely synonymous with the club you’re in charge of.

2. José Mourinho

Club: Tottenham Salary: €17.5m-per-year

He looks so happy to be back, doesn’t he? But there’s one man he never seems to get the better of …

1. Pep Guardiola

Club: Manchester City Salary: €23m-per-year

Premier League leaders? Nope, not this year. But Guardiola is still sat atop of this particular table.
