#2 Laurent Blanc - £17 million
Laurent Blanc was very successful as a player and won the FIFA World Cup and EURO Championship with France, while also winning league titles in England, Spain and France.
He proved that he was equally capable as a manager, when he lead a modest Bordeaux side to a second place finish in Ligue 1 and claiming the Manager of the Year award for the 2007-08 season, in his first season in charge at the club.
He won the Ligue 1 next season and followed that with a two-year spell with France national team. But his managerial acumen attracted the attention of PSG's president Nasser Al-Khelafi, who brought him to Parc Des Princes to replace Carlo Ancelotti.
Paris Saint-Germain is a club that is absolutely dominant in Ligue 1 and too good for their league, but their search for the elusive Champions League trophy continues to this day.
Blanc won multiple domestic titles with the club, but failed at the continental stage. That was the major reason why he was relieved of his duties in 2016 and awarded a handsome amount of £17 million as severance.
