Mourinho vs Guardiola: Comparing the 2 Managers’ Net Worth After Mourinho’s Many Sackings

• Jose Mourinho has a considerably higher net worth than Pep Guardiola
• This can be attributed to the times the Portuguese manager was sacked
• Pep Guardiola is yet to be sacked by any football club he has managed

There is a silver lining in managerial sackings and arguably no one knows this better than Jose Mourinho.

Currently at AS Roma, Mourinho has a stupendous net worth and it mostly has to do with the humongous payouts he receives from clubs that want to do away with him.

The former Chelsea and Tottenham boss has reportedly received almost £100 million in compensation from clubs that have decided against seeing out the Portuguese tactician’s contract.

Since moving into management with Benfica in the year 2000, Mourinho has had his fair share of sackings and his most recent dismissal came at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur in 2021.

Mourinho's versus Guardiola's net worth

As far as rivalries go, Mourinho has been embroiled in an intense battle with the younger Guardiola over the years.

The two faced off in El Clasico when the Portuguese was Real Madrid manager and the Spaniard coached a star-studded Barcelona side.

The rivalry then transcended into the Premier League, as Mourinho took charge of Manchester United and came up against Guardiola’s Man City.

Currently, it is highly unlikely the two managers will come face to face again in football, especially with the Portuguese now settled at Roma.

Despite this, Sports Brief takes a look at their rivalry as far as net worth is concerned.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Mourinho’s net worth stands at $120 million, compared to Pep Guardiola’s $40 million.

Express Sport further reports the Special One accrued an accumulated £30.5 mil after his two sackings at Chelsea, while he received £17 mil from Real Madrid when they dismissed him in 2013.

After getting sacked by United in 2018, Mourinho was compensated with £15 mil, while Tottenham gave him close to £30 mil in 2021 upon his sacking.

Mourinho hits back at Cassano

Sports Brief also reported on Mourinho’s vicious response to Antonio Cassano, after the pundit called out the manager for his 'inability to play beautiful football'.

The footballer-turned-pundit was responding to reports that continue linking the manager with a return to one of his former clubs - either Real Madrid or Chelsea.

Mourinho responded in characteristic style, dragging Cassano into the mud by noting the ex-midfielder had never won anything despite playing for top clubs.
