Who Are The 10 Highest Paid Managers in World Football in 2016?
In the world of football, it’s not just the players who get paid vast amounts of money but also the managers.
A football manager’s job is a thankless job where the pressure is always on the manager and a small slip-up will get you the sack. Even winning silverware doesn't please club owners and they are the first to come under fire if they don’t live up to their expectations.
But, the big managerial job does pay big bucks, too.
Let’s take a look at 10 of the highest paid managers in world football.
#10 Diego Simeone
Club: Atlético Madrid
Salary: £4.4 Million
After winning the La Liga title in 2013/14 and taking the club to two Champions League finals in three seasons, Diego Simeone earned himself a new five-year contract in 2015. The Spanish club has been through a major transformation under the Argentinian ever since his appointment.
Simeone truly established himself in Europe after the way he developed the club and it’s players over the years.
Perhaps the only thing that Diego Simeone must be regretting is the two Champions League final defeats to Real Madrid. The Argentinian is going nowhere until Atletico are European champions.
