Club: Manchester City

Salary: £15.3 Million

After spells at big European clubs like Bayern Munich and Barcelona, there’s no question that expectations are monstrous from Pep after being signed by Manchester City.

The much-awaited arrival of the Spaniard to the Premier League would be the manager's golden chance to prove the critics that he can achieve titles even in England. Although it will take time to build his own squad of players at Manchester City, Pep won’t be going easy on his rivals.

Champions League will be the priority for the manager given City’s recent failures in the European tournament.

Guardiola was actually paid more at Bayern Munich than he is currently at Manchester City, but the number is pretty big and he wouldn’t be much bothered with the reduction in salary. Guardiola is on a three-year contract at Manchester City.
