8) Claudio Ranieri

Ranieri has spent 801 million euros on 95 players through the various clubs he has managed. His most notable purchases are Frank Lampard from West Ham and Claude Makelele from West Ham and Real Madrid respectively during his time with Chelsea.

He also made the purchases of the Columbian duo of Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez from Atletico Madrid and FC Porto while managing AS Monaco.

7) Roberto Mancini

The Current Italian manager is no.7 in the list of the top 10 highest spending managers in the history of football. Roberto Mancini has proven himself at every club that has given him the opportunity to manage. Be it the cash-stricken Fiorentina or Lazio.

He also led Inter Milan to 3 consecutive Serie A titles before taking Manchester City to their first ever Premier League title in 2011. The Italian has spent 802 million euros on 79 players with a majority of his spending coming from his time at Manchester City.

A lot of his signings at the Etihad stadium will go on to become club legends with his notable signings being Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure and David Sliva.
