The charming Italian has managed top clubs in every top league in Europe and now finds himself in the Bayern Munich hot-seat this season following the departure of Guardiola to Manchester City. He has done a fine job so far with his team in control of the Bundesliga and through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Ancelotti has amassed €15.8 million this season as per French Football and is one of the highest earners in world football. A title win and Champions League success will definitely improve the financial standing of a manager who was successful at Chelsea, AC Milan and Real Madrid prior to joining the Bavarian giants.
