Roberto Mancini was purportedly earning approximately £21 million annually in his lucrative position with Saudi Arabia. However, his contract was terminated after only 14 months in command, as a result of their seven wins in 18 games.
Following the firing of Roberto Mancini by the Saudi Arabia national team, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has become the highest-earning manager in the world.
Mancini was reportedly earning approximately £21.5 million annually in his lucrative position. However, his contract was terminated after only 14 months in command, as a result of seven wins from 18 games, which included an elimination from the Asia Cup in the last 16.
He also expressed dissatisfaction with the quantity of foreign transfers that were entering the Saudi Pro League, which restricted the number of minutes his first team players were able to play. His departure has resulted in Guardiola being the highest-earning individual, with an estimated £20 million in earnings.
Guardiola’s future at City is uncertain, as his contract is set to expire next summer. The Spaniard has not yet made a decision regarding his future, but he is currently the highest-earning manager.
Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, is currently in second position. He recently inked a contract extension that reportedly increased his salary from £9m to £15m.
Diego Simeone, the manager of Atletico Madrid, was previously considered one of the highest-paid managers in the world. However, his remuneration was reduced from £16 million to £13 million last year. He completes the top three.
Real Madrid is reportedly paying Simeone £9.6m annually, surpassing his managerial rival Carlo Ancelotti, who was granted a contract extension last season.
Jose Mourinho is ranked fifth, with Turkish media indicating that he is earning £8.7m annually since joining Fenerbahce this summer. This indicates that the “Special One” continues to command respect, despite the fact that he is not currently managing one of the world’s most prestigious clubs.
Jorge Jesus, the former manager of Benfica, is currently employed by Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, which won the Saudi Pro League last year. It is reported that Jesus is receiving a salary of £8.4m annually to serve as the head coach of the team, which includes Neymar, Ruben Neves, and Joao Cancelo.
