All around the world, we have people that can be regarded as high-profile coaches in football.
These coaches have achieved great thing with some of the biggest clubs in Europe, winning leagues and cups. They have also failed sometimes, and gotten kicked out of one or two clubs. But the thing is that, with high-profile coaches, being sacked as a manager comes with its own benefits.
Several of these top-flight clubs have to pay the price for sacking their managers before the expiration of their contracts. And it doesn’t come cheap too. We have seen coachs, over the years, receive mouth-watering sums as pay-offs for getting sacked.
But which coach has received the highest amount? Take a look:
- Jose Mourinho
