Ex-Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola will be offered an eye-watering £17 million salary to stay at Bayern Munich according to The Daily Mirror, amid rumours he could be on his way out of the German club.
The pay rise would make Guardiola the highest-paid football manager in the world ahead of current leader Jose Mourinho, who earns a staggering £13.2 million as Chelsea boss.
Bayern Munich are believed to have offered Guardiola the bumper contract after he was linked with a spate of English Premier League clubs – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.
Regarded by many as the best manager in the world, the 44-year-old has come out victorious in an extraordinary 75.57 per cent of the games he's been in charge of at Bayern Munich.
He has also won a myriad of trophies in his relatively short managerial career, taking out a number of Spanish and German titles, the Champions League twice, and winning FIFA's Don Balon Award for best manager in 2009 and 2010.
