9. Jose Mourinho (Rome)
The experienced coach is undoubtedly one of the best in recent history, he has won two Champions League with different teams, two Europa League also with different teams and recently a Conference League with Roma; This justifies his high salary, which reaches $10 million per season.

5. Maximiliano Allegri (Juventus)
Juventus is one of the greats in Europe and the fact that they are currently going through a bad time does not mean that they do not have one of the highest paid coaches in soccer, the Italian receives $13.9 million annually for being in charge of the bench of the Vecchia Signora.
4. Graham Potter (Chelsea)
