On the list of top-earning soccer coaches, Pep Guardiola is second only to Atletico Madrid’s Diego Simeone.

Meanwhile, Guardiola’s net worth is estimated at $126 million. He is the second-richest manager in the world after Diego Simeone. Jose Mourinho has enough bank balance to compete with the Spanish tactician. But he is yet to find a job after AS Roma’s sacking. Guardiola largely owes his impressive net worth to his stellar coaching stints with FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City. He has won a whopping 37 titles with these three European powerhouses. Besides his coaching job, the Spaniard has shrewdly struck lucrative endorsement deals with certain big brands.
