1. Jose Mourinho (Real Madrid) - â¬15.3m 2. Carlo Ancelotti (PSG) - â¬13.5m 3. Marcelo Lippi (Guangzhou) - â¬10m 4. Alex Ferguson (Manchester United) - â¬9.4m 5. Arsene Wenger (Arsenal) - â¬9.3m 6. Guus Hiddink (Anzhi) - â¬8.3m 7. Fabio Capello (Russia) - â¬7.3m 8. Tito Vilanova (Barcelona) â¬7m 9. Jose Camacho (China) - â¬5.9m 10. Roberto Mancini (Manchester City) - â¬5.9m
I thought Mancini would be higher, Lippi must be laughing his cock off in China!! Other than that its pretty much as you'd expect I'd say.
They are scary figures per year for a manager. Capellos total contract with England was worth 6 million, so I'd assume they're career stats.

There's a vast majority on both those lists that are earning far far far above their value even in this ridiculously overpaid climate.
Zigic earns more than Nani, Smalling, Jones, Scholes, and the same as Welbeck and Fletcher. Incredible.
I can't find PSG's, but as far as I know, they haven't yet overtaken Barcelona, who now have an average wage across their entire squad that exceeds £100k a week.
As I suspected, and its one of the reasons I'm more of an armchair supporter these days, along with players wages I find it all a bit abhorrent such sums are now more of a norm than an exception. I've heard the arguments, look what other sportsmen/women earn, look at bankers and the likes, then I hear some of the cheapest tickets at the likes of Arsenal are something in the region of £70 per home game and I know the game has gone slightly crazy for the ordinary supporter. Another excuse is that they are businesses now but whichever way you look at it there is no justification for these sums for people who are involved with the kicking of a bag of wind from one end of a pitch to the other, whether plenty of people pay those entry prices or not.
Even the players who struggle to get on the bench earn 100k...... ****ing unbelievable. Football's gone mad.
