The best paid managers in world football with Arsenal and Chelsea bosses making the top 10

13=. Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City – £5.4m

When taking over at City the Chilean knew that wages were likely to improve and if the 60-year-old can build on his League Cup triumph already achieved, then things could prove even more lucrative.

13=. David Moyes, Manchester United – £5.4m

It’s been a difficult first term in charge of the Premier League champions for the Scot on the pitch, but Moyes’ bank balance certainly hasn’t suffered and less than one-year into a six-year contract, things are only going to get better in that department.
