Right now, Manchester has become the epicenter of world football, and Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, even more so than those on the pitch, are the protagonists.
Each coach has been able to lure some of the best players in football to their sides throughout their careers, for a sum that adds up to 2 billion euros.
Mourinho has spent 1.2 billion at Porto, two spells at Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid and now Manchester United whereas Guardiola has invested 748.5 million to strengthen his Barcelona, Bayern and Manchester City squads.
Because the Portuguese boss has been coaching since 2003 while the Catalan since 2008, a better measure is how much each have averaged in amount spent per season in their years in charge. The Special One averages 82.6m per season, with Guardiola a bit more at 93.5m. For each trophy won that means Mourinho has spent 53.9m for 23 trophies, whereas Guardiola just 35.6m.
City led the way in this summer's total spending with 213m on players like John Stones, Leroy Sane, Nolito, and Ilkay Gundogan.
Mourinho's United was not far behind at 185 on the four pillars the new boss demanded: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Mourinho's record-breaking spending
Never in his career had Mourinho spent so much on one single player, Pogba, or in one single transfer window. He hardly spent a dime when he famously won the Champions League with Porto, and most of his transfers were spread out over two spells at Chelsea, not in one window.
The Premier League has seen an unprecedented amount of spending this time around and Mourinho and Guardiola have been at the forefront. The results will be clear, in front for all to see during Saturday's Manchester derby. It is a match well worth seeing, one it'd pay not to miss./ShikoNews
