Highest paid managers in European football

Manuel Pellegrini (West Ham) £7m

Manuel Pellegrini is one of the most well-known managers in the world. He has been a manager for more than 3 decades now and has manged clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid in the past. He is also the only non-European manager to win the Premier League.

West Ham made a statement of intent when they signed Pellegrini and although he had a mixed debut season, both he and the club will hope to make it to Europe this season. The Hammers have Pellegrini on their wage bill at £7m per season.

Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool) £7m

Jurgen Klopp is perhaps the most popular manager in the world right now. The German is credited with single-handedly reviving Liverpool after falling by the wayside in the past. He led them to a Champions League victory last season and will hope to win the Premier League this time around.

Although he is reported to make twice of what he made at Borussia Dortmund, Klopp still makes £7m at Liverpool. However, Liverpool have tried to negotiate a new contract with better wages. Unfortunately for the Reds, Klopp has put such talks on hold as he contemplates taking a break from football at the expiration of his contract.
