Carlo Ancelotti is one of the most reputed managers in world football

The charming Italian has managed top clubs in every top league in Europe and now finds himself in the Bayern Munich hot-seat this season following the departure of Guardiola to Manchester City. He has done a fine job so far with his team in control of the Bundesliga and through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Ancelotti has amassed €15.8 million this season as per French Football and is one of the highest earners in world football. A title win and Champions League success will definitely improve the financial standing of a manager who was successful at Chelsea, AC Milan and Real Madrid prior to joining the Bavarian giants.
