Managers Who Make A Lot Of Money & Google Teaches Us Portuguese.

Futebol Finance, Portuguese providers of shit you’re interested in, have released the yearly list of managerial salaries, which were actually release by a Spanish publication a few weeks back.

This year, much like last year, one name is far, far ahead of the rest. No, it’s not Fergie or Mourinho, but Luiz Felipe Chelsea Bust Scolari, who is pulling in €16.6m to do difficult things such as win the Uzbek League and lose in the quarters of the Asian Champions League.

Must be nice.

There isn’t a name on this list which should surprise you, but there is one team which might: Inter has not one but two managers on the list. Roberto Mancini’s payoff nets him into the top 6, even. A mere €17m on two coaches.

Must be nice.

Also worth noting: Chelsea have employed four of these characters in the last three years. Inter aren’t concerned with financial prudence (nor are Chelsea for that matter), and Roman isn’t quite as concerned by continuity at the top.

This is how the list and the Futebol Finance site reads:

1. Luiz Filipe Scolari (Brazil) – Bunyodkor – € 16,600,000
2. José Mourinho (Portugal) – Internazionale – 11.300.000 €
3. Fábio Capello (Itália) – Inglaterra – 8.800.000 €
4. Alex Ferguson (Escócia) – Manchester United – 7.600.000 €
5. Carlo Ancelotti (Itália) – Chelsea – 6.000.000 €
6. Roberto Mancini (Itália) – Desempregado – 6.000.000 € *
7. Manuel Pellegrini (Chile) – Real Madrid – 5.500.000 €
8. Louis Van Gaal (Holanda) – Bayern Munique – 5.200.000 €
9. Guus Hiddink (Holanda) – Rússia – 5.000.000 €
10. Arséne Wenger (França) – Arsenal – 4.800.000 €

And this is how Google Translate reads it:

Did you know “Bunyodkor” is Portuguese for “Fiorentina”? I did not.

The wondrous things Google teaches us in our everyday lives.
