Jose Mourinho net worth: Manchester United manager’s huge salary and impressive fortune

Jose Mourinho, 54, has been the manager of Manchester United since May 2016.

He signed a three-year contract with the club after leaving Chelsea FC in December 2015, four months into a four year contract.

The Portuguese football manager has a long involvement with the sport, having played himself before retiring and becoming a manager.

His father was also a professional football player, which sparked his interest in a career.

Before he found fame as a player and manager, Mourinho worked as a school coach, but left to pursue his dreams in the sport.

Off the pitch, Mourinho has built up a lucrative fortune as the most endorsed manager in world football.

He is thought to earn £10million a year thanks to deals with Heineken, Hublot watches, Jaguar, BT Sport, Adidas, Atlantis hotels, Lipton Tea and EA Sports.

This is one top of his £12million a year wages from Manchester United.

All in all, Mourinho is worth £37.6million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com.

The manager is also a success in his personal life, having married his childhood sweetheart, Matilde Faria, in 1989.

The couple have two children, and their son, José Mário Jr is a football player with Fulham’s youth team.

Mourinho speaks Spanish, Italian, French, Catalan and English as well as his native Portuguese.

Manchester United face Befica tonight in the Champions League and a win could see them qualify for the knockout stages.

Jose Mourinho’s side are currently top of Group A, and the full three points could ensure they progress to the next round of the Champions League. 

Over the weekend Manchester United bounced back from a shock Premier League defeat against Huddersfield to beat title rivals Tottenham 1-0.
