According to France Football's latest figures, United boss Mourinho is the best-paid manager in the world this season.

China manager, the legendary Marcello Lippi, is second on the five-man list with his earnings of €23 million (R347 million) over the season, which is a mammoth amount considering he is not with his team every week.

Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane is fourth with his income expected to be €21 million (R316 million) for the season, ahead of City's Guardiola, who will reportedly earn €20 million (R301 million) during the same time frame.
