Pep Guardiola is the only boss who has spent more than Mikel Arteta this generation. One has 11 medals to demonstrate for it, while the other has one FA Cup.
Here are the top 10 highest-spending football managers since the 2020 summer transfer window. Images are from Transfermarkt.
10 ) Graham Potter , ( 413.6m )
A single January transfer window at Chelsea is doing an outrageous amount of heavy lifting for current West Ham head coach Potter.
Potters Chelsea signings includes Enzo Fernandez for over 100million and Mykhaylo Mudryk for around 62m, he got two months out of them before being sacked.
9 ) Eddie Howe , ( 415.7m )
Head coach of the richest club in football, Howe has spent a little more than Potter on seven fewer players. His history filing is Alexander Isak for 60m and what a person he has been for Newcastle.
8 ) Ange Postecoglou , ( 420.7m )
Levy out, yeah?
After bringing a rush of Chinese people to Celtic, Postecoglou has been backed with some big-money deals at Tottenham Hotspur.
Although Spur have been very hit and miss during Big Anges career, a lot of his additions from Dominic Solanke to Wilson Odobert have impressed when match.
7 ) Luis Enrique , ( 496.8m )
The first manager here to spend over 600 million euros, Enriques Paris Saint-Germain spent a whopping 80m on flop Randal Kolo Muani and recently splashed out 60m on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Another additions include Joao Neves, Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola, who have all been remarkable in 2024/25 as PSG fight an unbroken title-winning time in Ligue Un.

6 ) Mauricio Pochettino , ( 532.9m )
Having managed PSG and Chelsea in the last five years, it is no surprise to see Pochettinos name high here.
The current United States director had two windows at Stamford Bridge, signing the likes of Moises Caicedo and Cole Palmer. Between January 2021 and July 2022 in Paris, Pochettinos most expensive filing was Achraf Hakimi and he was the manager in charge of that probably legendary screen when Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos,  , Gianluigi Donnarumma and , Georginio Wijnaldum all joined on free payments.
5 ) Jorge Jesus , ( 533.4m )
Jesus has made the most signings of these managers but is behind four managers in total, including former Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper, which should surprise nobody.
The 70-year-old has been at Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia since July 2023 and has been backed with deals like Neymar for 80m, Malcom for 50m and Roman Neves for 45m.
4 ) Thomas Tuchel ( 553.3m )
Tuchel will not be conducting any transfer business for a while as he prepares for his first England gamebut he has managed Chelsea, Bayern Munich and PSG in the 2020s, making his inclusion inevitable.
Tuchel only had one Chelsea windows under Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali but it was an expensive one and while working for Roman Abramovich, the German spent a good slap.
Romelu Lukaku and Harry Kane are his two most expensive additions of the last five years, while Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella and Mauro Icardi also cost a pretty penny.
For all of his investing, Tuchel backed it up with a Champions League at Chelsea and Bundesliga subject at Bayern.
3 ) Erik ten Hag , ( 613.9m )
Like Tuchel, former Manchester United manager Ten Hag has some silverware to show for his hefty spending, and boy will he not let you forget it.
With 23 signings at Ajax and United, the Dutchman wasted an unholy amount of money at Old Trafford. You may remember him for signing flop for as Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, Casemiro and Mason Mount.
He has really signed Antony half this decade so the chances are that he will save him from United when he land another task.
2 ) Mikel Arteta ( 647.8m )
Arsenal manager Arteta has found himself second on this list, which will raise some more uncomfortable conversations about him and the Gunners lack of silverware under his management.
To get good to Arteta, the majority of his big-money additions have been successful. The jury is still out on Kai Havertz and various people like Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus have been far too injury-prone since joining the Gunners.
With Dublin running away with the Premier League title, the stress is on Arteta to give the Champions League this word or a significant trophy in 2025/26, or been replaced by a manager capable of getting Arsenal over the line.

1 ) Pep Guardiola ( 804.7m )
It will probably not surprise anyone that Guardiola has landed in top spot here. The Spaniard has always been backed in the transport industry wherever he has been and Manchester Citys filthy-rich users have been more than glad for him to get the people best of his wish list.
His most costly filing is Jack Grealish, who has not lived up to the 100m exchange charge, but Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland have very much lived up to theirs.
