Remuneration - €24m

Often regarded as the best manager on the planet in recent years. Pep Guardiola has won every trophy he has competed for as a Manager, albeit for different clubs. The Spaniard revolutionized the tiki-taka during his time at Barcelona, entertaining the world with some brilliantly entertaining football. Barcelona were consistently the best team in the world under him and were immensely successful too.

After a modest association with Bayern Munich, Guardiola found his zeal once again with Manchester City in the Premier League. He took a year to shape the players and the club to his liking and since then, has developed his team into one of the best in Europe. Last season, City won the Premier League with a record 100 points. This season, they are well on course to complete a quadruple.

The Spaniard has been ably supported in the Transfer Market by the club and has been allowed to spend at will to get the player he desires. The club has not held back in his salary either and have rewarded Guardiola with a contract that sees him earn a cool €24m per year.
