Completing the list of world football’s highest paid managers are three shock names.

Xabi Alonso makes the cut despite his role at German outfit Bayer Leverkusen being his first senior job in management.

Staying in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg’s Niko Kovac comes in eleventh place.

Just making the cut is Barcelona boss Xavi. He earns £3.4m every year and is not higher due to him supposedly accepting a wage cut to help the club balance the books as they battle ongoing financial troubles.
