3. Carlo Ancelotti – Bayern Munich ($11.6 million annual salary)
When you hear Carlo Ancelotti’s name, your mind will go straight to AC Milan. The Italian football manager and former AC Milan midfielder was with the Rossoneri for eight years. Since he took charge, the club was successful in winning everything, literally.
Thus, it should come as no surprise that Bayern Munich is willing to pay him $11.6 million per year to manage the club starting this season. Although, he has a tough task ahead to match Pep Guardiola’s success as he took his place on the managerial seat.
Since managing Juventus in 1999, Ancelotti has been in charge with none other than major European football clubs. Among them are AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-German, and Real Madrid.
Ancelotti has always brought the team he managed to win the domestic league at least once since AC Milan. Because Bayern Munich is the reigning Bundesliga champion, it should not be that hard to repeat the success, right?
