The Highest Paid Football Managers

We know that the highest paid football players make some serious money and so do the richest football clubs, but what about the coaches who coach the rich players on the rich clubs? Surprise, surprise, they aren’t crying poor either.

Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho once again tops the list of highest paid football managers compiled by France Football magazine. Given his lack of success this season at Real Madrid you’d have to say that Fabio Capello is overpaid, but not as much as Sven-Goran Eriksson who has been paid royally not to coach England. Seeing Giovanni Trapattoni on the list is surprising as well.
