Capello Managed England at the 2010 World Cup

Fabio Capello is one of the many high profile managers in the Chinese league. He was appointed in June 2017 and earns £8.98 million per year at the club.

The 71-year-old has had a trophy-laden career, winning the UEFA Champions League, Serie A and La Liga. After disappointing stints with the national squads of England and Russia, the AC Milan legend joined the Chinese Super League, taking charge of Jiangsu Suning - in the hopes of restructuring his managerial career.

The Italian joined the Chinese giants in their worst period when they were hovering in the relegation zone after a poor run of form. He has failed to win any trophy at the club till now but has saved them from relegation. He will be looking to have a great season in 2018 with renewed hope
