2) Carlo Ancelotti – £11.4-million

The world’s second highest paid football manager, and also one of the most experienced and successful currently in the business. Last season was his first at Real Madrid and he did not disappoint the board or fans, with the capital club finally clinching La Decima with a 4-1 Champions League final victory over Atletico Madrid. The trophy also meant that Ancelotti is one of only two managers to win the Champions League or European Cup three times as a manager. Ancelotti will be used to the enormous wages he receives at Madrid, his previous two jobs were at mega rich Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
