Excluding Carlo Ancelotti (whose income at Real Madrid is estimated to be €7.5 million per year) and Tata Martino (on €5.4m at Barça), the salaries of the remaining coaches when added together still fall short of Pep Guardiola's €17 million.Besides the previously mentioned Ancelotti and Martino, who are among the 10 highest earning coaches, only 'El Cholo' Simeone, in 26th place with €2.5 million, and Del Bosque at the no 30 spot with €2.35 million, figure in the world's top 30.Fabio Capello (Russia) is the highest paid national team coach, receiving €7.8 million every year.
