Fabio Capello, the man who will lead the England team to the World Cup finals in South Africa in six weeks time is the richest manager in British and Irish football. With a £34m fortune to his name, Capello is ranked 16th overall in the first-ever list of the 100 richest sports stars. The Sunday Times Sport Rich List 2010, the definitive guide to sporting wealth in Britain and Ireland, is published on May 2 as a 16-page supplement free with The Sunday Times.
Capello took over as England manager in 2007 following the failure of England to qualify for Euro 2008. He has turned around the team's fortunes to such an extent that they head for South Africa as one of the tournament favourites, having won nine out of their 10 qualifying games. Capello, 63, is the highest paid England manager in history with a £6.5m a year contract. He was a wealthy man even before he took the England post, following a hugely successful club management career, which has seen him manage many of the leading clubs in Europe. They include AC Milan, with whom he won four Serie A titles in five years, Roma, Juventus, and Real Madrid. Capello has a valuable art collection and lives in London.
Capello beats the former Manchester United captain Roy Keane, 38, into second place in the list of richest football managers. Keane's £30m fortune is derived largely from his playing days, which have thus far been notably more successful than his time as a manager. Currently the boss at Ipswich Town, the championship side have struggled in the lower reaches of the league this season - Keane's first in charge - and never challenged for promotion. Prior to his appointment at Portman Road in April 2009, Keane was manager of Sunderland from August 2006 until he walked out in December 2008. He earned about £2m a year at premier league side Sunderland but his earnings as a player at Old Trafford were much more. He played for the club from 1993 to 2005 and captained the side throughout one of its most successful periods.
Keane is one of five managers among the 14 who make the The Sunday Times Sport Rich List who have a connection with Manchester United. The others are Sir Alex Ferguson, 68, in third place and worth £24m, who now has £1m of accrued wealth for every year he has spent as manager at the club. He is currently on a £3.6m annual rolling contract. Steve Bruce, another former Manchester United captain and now manager of Sunderland, is ranked 10=, alongside Mark Hughes, the former Old Trafford striker and one-time manager of Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers. The fifth red is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, currently manager of the Manchester United reserves, who have just won the Premier Reserve League North. Solskjaer retired from playing in 2007 and donated to charity the £2m proceeds from his testimonial match a year later. He scored 126 goals for Manchester United including the last-gasp winner in the 1999 Champions League final.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, 50, in fourth place on the football managers' rich list with £21m to his name, is one of nine coaches from overseas among the 14 richest in Britain and Ireland. Five of them are Italian: Fabio Capello, Ancelotti himself, Giovanni Trapattoni, the Ireland manager (5th, £18m), Roberto Mancini (8th, £13m) and Gianfranco Zola (10=, £10m). There is also one Frenchman - Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager (6th, £17m), a Swede - Sven-Goran Eriksson (7th, £16m), a Spaniard - Rafa Benitez (9th, £11m) and a Norwegian - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (10=, £10m). In fact, with two managers from the island of Ireland (Roy Keane and Martin O'Neill), one from Scotland (Sir Alex Ferguson) and one from Wales (Mark Hughes), it leaves Steve Bruce as the only English manager in the entire table.
The first Sunday Times Sport Rich List - the definitive guide to sporting wealth in Britain and Ireland - is published in a special 16-page supplement, which profiles the 100 richest sports stars in the UK and Ireland. The list is based on identifiable wealth (club contracts and endorsements), and excludes bank accounts (to which the paper has no access).
The Sunday Times Sport Rich List 2010 is compiled by Philip Beresford, the leading authority on British wealth, and Alastair McCall. It is edited by Ian Coxon. Beresford, who has a Phd in politics from Exeter University, edited Management Today before taking up wealth tracking full-time.
