Pep Guardiola won the treble with FC Barcelona

Pep Guardiola is arguably the best manager in the world right now and deserves the high salary that he gets for his services. The Spaniard earns close to £15.3 million per year at Manchester City.

Guardiola was a well-recognized player for Barcelona and started his career in management with Barcelona's B side. After impressing there, he was appointed as the Barcelona manager and led them through their most successful era. He joined Manchester City in 2016 after a 3-year stint with Bayern Munich.

Guardiola took over the reigns from Manuel Pellegrini and endured a lacklustre first season. However, this season, City are in elite form and are expected to win the league. We can say that the Guardiola era is just beginning at Manchester City.
