Highest paid managers in European football
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (Manchester United) £7.5m

In comparison to the other names on this list, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sticks out like a sore thumb. We will reserve judgement on his managerial abilities at the end of the season however, his past records do not compare with any other name on here.
Solskjaer started his career with United reserves before heading back home to Molde where he won 2 league titles. He moved over to Cardiff City but a poor run there saw him return back to Molde in Norway. However, Mourinho’s sacking last year saw him become the caretaker manager last season.
He was eventually given the job on a permanent basis after United played incredibly well under him. Since his permanent appointment though, the club have performed rather poorly. Solskjaer earns £7.5m per season at Old Trafford. A massive improvement on the £400,000 he was making at Molde.

Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid) £10.5m

Zinedine Zidane led Real Madrid to 3 consecutive Champions League titles. In the process he became the first manager to win the Champions League 3 times in its current incarnation. However, at the completion of the hat-trick, Zidane exited the club.
Real Madrid’s poor performance since his departure forced the club to bring him back to the Bernabeu with a salary of £10.5m per season; a hefty increase on the £6.4m he was earning earlier. Both Zidane and the club will look for improved performances from last season.
