10) Jose Antonio Camacho, China National Team - £5.2m
- The former Real Madrid manager now finds himself managing the Chinese national team. Following huge investment and growth in the sport, Jose is 'cashing in' much in the same way we saw with Didier Drogba.
- Win 37.81%
- Draw 24.88%
- Loss 37.31%
9) Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United - £6.4m
- The Man Utd legend in my view is the biggest bargain (if you can call £6.4m a bargain) in the top 10. On course for a record 20th Premier League title - seen it all, done it all, I'm not sure they make managers like Sir Alex anymore.
- Win 63.19%
- Draw 20.68%
- Loss 16.13%
8) Roberto Mancini, Manchester City - £6.5m
- Interesting that the blue side of Manchester decided to slightly pip the reds for manager wages, seems quite a coincidence. Mancini had great success last season with winning the Premier League, but struggled this year after marking no marquee signings. Europe remains a question mark.
- Win 54.85%
- Draw 25.15%
- Loss 20.00%
7) Fabio Capello, Russia - £7.9m- This is what you get for being a failed England manager, hard to imagine how his Russian compares to his grasp of the English language. Credit where it's due, this is good work if you can get it!
- Win 57.09%
- Draw 29.23%
- Loss 13.68%
6) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal - £8m- The arsenal great comes in at six, this salary could have been justified during the 'invincibles' when Arsene brought together a superb Arsenal team. Much credit can also be given to his development of the French great Thierry Henry. With eight years without a trophy, I think Wenger is batting above his average with his salary!
- Win 55.86%
- Draw 23.87%
- Loss 20.27%
5) Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool - £8.5m (pay-off)- The still Liverpool legend, but ex-Liverpool boss received a huge pay-off after seeing him sacked from the managers position.
- Win 48.86%
- Draw 24.24%
- Loss 26.89%
4) Guus Hiddink, Anzhi Makhachkala - £9.2m- The former Real Madrid, Chelsea and Russia National Team manager (used to big salaries then) is currently sat second in the Russian domestic league. The Dutchman in my view is one of the top managers in the world and wasted in what is considered one of the more minor European leagues. After this year surely he has enough cash to come back to top level football?!
- Win 60.75%
- Draw 19.00%
- Loss 20.25%
3) Marcello Lippi, Guangzhou Evergrande - £9.4m- Italian World Cup winning hero, now in charge of the Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande. Much the same to Hiddink I can't help but feel this mans talents are only surpassed by his greed. Should be involved in top flight European/International football.
- Win 50.66%
- Draw 27.75%
- Loss 21.59%
2) Carlo Ancelotti, PSG - £10.25m- Another former Chelsea manager, currently in charge of French football heavyweights PSG. Currently enjoying Champions League success, Qatari funding and his new best friend David Beckham.
- Win 57.94%
- Draw 23.57%
- Loss 18.49%
1) Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid - £12m- 'The special one' is of course another ex-Chelsea boss and currently manager of Real Madrid. Much speculation surrounding his next move, and he is making no secret of his admiration of Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United. The Reds may have to double their current managers wage to see Mourinho join. Jose has a simple formula to get to the top, win everywhere you go - and do it with charisma and charm. A fascinating man.
- Win 67.21%
- Draw 19.88%
- Loss 12.91%
So there you have it the top 10 highest paid managers in the World. Interestingly the manager with the highest win % is No.1 and the manager with the lowest win % is No.10. Stats do count for something I guess.
