Highest paid managers in European football

Jose Mourinho (Tottenham) £15m

Jose Mourinho is the latest entrant in this list after becoming new Tottenham manager earlier in the day. Mourinho had been out of job since being sacked from Manchester United last year. However, poor performances under Mauricio Pochettino saw the Argentine get the sack.

He was then swiftly replaced by Jose Mourinho with the salary of £15m per season. Mourinho’s responsibility at Tottenham this season will to bring stability back to the club. Very ironic, considering the man is known for being chaotic and controversial.
