Club: Real Madrid

Salary: £4.6 Million

Although it has only been nine months since the Frenchman took up the toughest job in Spanish football, Zizou has already managed to add a Champions League trophy to the Real Madrid trophy cabinet.

The former Real Madrid player already has legendary status at the club as a player and is now hoping to achieve legendary status as a manager too.

With the start of the new La Liga season, Zidane’s top priority will be to beat defending champions FC Barcelona to the Spanish League title. With the kind of squad Zidane has in his kitty even a treble is an understatement.

It was reported that Zidane’s salary was doubled after he led Real Madrid to win the Champions League.
