In the world of football, money talks. And when it comes to spending big in the transfer market, some managers are more willing than others to splash the cash. Here is a list of the top 10 highest-spending managers of the last decade:
- Jose Mourinho (£1.71 billion)
- Pep Guardiola (£1.61 billion)
- Arsene Wenger (£1.44 billion)
- Diego Simeone (£1.3 billion)
- Massimiliano Allegri (£1.2 billion)
- Carlo Ancelotti (£1.16 billion)
- Antonio Conte (£1.08 billion)
- Manuel Pellegrini (£1.06 billion)
- Ernesto Valverde (£967 million)
- Claudio Ranieri (£864 million)
As you can see, Mourinho is the clear leader in terms of spending, having spent over £1.7 billion on transfers in the last decade. Guardiola is not far behind, having spent over £1.6 billion. Wenger, Simeone, Allegri, and Ancelotti all make the top five, having spent over £1.2 billion each. Conte, Pellegrini, Valverde, and Ranieri round out the top 10, having spent between £1 billion and £967 million each.
It is worth noting that this list only includes the transfer fees paid by the managers themselves. It does not include the wages of the players they have signed, which would likely add significantly to the total amount of money spent.
It is also worth noting that this list is only a snapshot of the last decade. It is possible that other managers will overtake these figures in the coming years. However, for now, these are the top 10 Highest Spending Managers of the last decade.
