The talks went on secretly for a period of three months and Roberto Mancini was very much tempted to sign for the French club.He was promised a salary of 8 million Euros., or 6.4 million pounds.Now that would have made him the third highest paid managers in the world. That means the only other two higher paid managers would have been Carlo Anchelotti of P.S.G. and Guus Hiddink of the Russian club Anzhi Machkala.
