European football changed forever when Jose Mourinho arrived at Chelsea declaring himself "The Special One".
The Portugal native's arrogant personality rubs plenty of people up the wrong way, but he still has plenty of admirers as he continues to stack up title after title during his career.
Though divisive, Mourinho's managerial record - which includes Champions Leagues and leagues won in four different countries - means that he has become one of football's most gilded coaches.
What sort of money does he command though? And what is his net worth? Goal brings you everything you need to know.

What is Jose Mourinho's net worth?
| Net worth: | $50m - $100m |
| Source of wealth: | Football contracts, endorsement deals & investments |
| Date of Birth: | January 26, 1963 |
| Country of birth: | Portugal |
Mourinho's net worth is estimated at $100 million (£80m) by the website Celebrity Net Worth, though some estimates place the figure significantly lower.
Spear's, for example, puts Mourinho's net worth at roughly £40m ($50m), but his new deal with Tottenham as well as compensation from his last job at Manchester United may have boosted that.
A long career in football, with prolonged success at the biggest clubs in the world over the course of two decades would certainly help an elite-level coach earn millions.
How much does Jose Mourinho earn?
Mourinho is on a lucrative £15 million-a-year ($19m) contract at Tottenham, according to the Daily Mail.
That makes him one of the best-paid managers in the Premier League alongside Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp. Indeed, such figures mean that Mourinho is earning similar money to the top players in the Premier League.
However, his actual earnings, once endorsement deals, image rights and so forth are taken into account, are reported to amount to over £20 million ($25m). Even in failure, Mourinho still earns plenty of money as his reported £20 million ($25m) compensation package following his departure from Manchester United attests.
The topic of Mourinho's earnings during his time as Real Madrid head became a problem for the Portuguese when he found himself at the centre of a tax fraud case. In 2019 he accepted a 12-month prison sentence (though served no time in jail) and paid a fine of close to €2.2 million (£2m/$2.5m).
Taking the reported annual salary of Mourinho at Tottenham, you can see what he earns approximately per minute, hour, day, week and month in the table below.
| Timeframe | Earnings* |
|---|---|
| Per minute | £28.50 |
| Per hour | £1,712 |
| Per day | £41,095 |
| Per week | £288,461 |
| Per month | £1,250,000 |
| Per year | £15,000,000 |
