Nice earner! Mourinho sackings create personal fortune

Legendary head coach Jose Mourinho has been sacked for the sixth time in his career this week.

Mourinho has parted company with AS Roma, leaving the Italian capital club with immediate effect.

The Portuguese, who is now 60, has left with Roma in nine position in Serie A.

Mourinho is stated to have earned around £80 million from various pay-offs in his career.

Most of that money came from Chelsea, who paid him more than £26 million alone.

He earned a £17 million pay-off by Real Madrid and nearly £20 million from Manchester United earlier in his career.
