Mou's in the Money

Earned €14 million last year

Real Madrid's Portuguese manager, José Mourinho was the best paid in his profession last year according to estimates by 'France Football' magazine, which has placed the Portuguese coach as the top earner eight times since the magazine began its managers list in 2004.
In the latest list, to be published by 'France Football' on Tuesday, Mourinho earned €14 million; €12 million from his salary and the rest from advertising contracts.
As he did last year, the Madrid coach beats Italian Carlo Ancelotti, second once again even though he took home €12 million, a €1.5 million drop on 2012.
Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande's Italian manager, Marcelo Lippi completes the podium with €11 million, a spot occupied last time round by Barcelona's Spanish coach, Pep Guardiola, who is currently on a year's sabbatical before heading to Bayern Munich next season.
Dutchman Guus Hiddink, at the helm of Russian outfit Anji Makhachkala, is fourth in the rankings with €10.8 million, while Scot Kenny Dalglish had time to pocket €10 million before being fired by Liverpool last June.
Completing the best paid top ten are Arsenal's French manager, Arsène Wenger (€9.4 million), Russian national team coach, Fabio Capello (€9.2 million), Manchester City's Roberto Mancini, United's Alex Ferguson and China's national team coach and the only Spaniard on the list, José Antonio Camacho (€6.1 million).
