FRANCE FOOTBALL has revealed the five managers to earn the most this season, based on salary, bonuses and advertising income.
According to the French publication, two Premier League managers are in the top five, along with an international coach and a Bundesliga boss.
Bizarrely, the other manager to make the top five doesn’t currently have a club, and his income is presumably from the team who sacked him at the end of last season.
Jose Mourinho is the Highest paid Manager (Manchester United) – £24.1m
Marcello Lippi is the 2nd Highest paid Manager (China) – £20.3m
Laurent Blanc is the 3rd Highest paid Manager (No Club but Previously Paris Saint Germain) – £17.2m
Carlo Ancelotti is the 4th Highest paid Manager (Bayern Munich) – £13.6m
Pep Guardiola is the 5th Highest paid Manager (Manchester city) – £12.5m
