Sir Alex Ferguson has come out on top of another table — as British football’s wealthiest manager - with his former midfielder Roy Keane in second place.
 |
In the week his Manchester United team regained the Barclays Premier League crown, Ferguson has been named the richest boss in the country with a fortune of £34million.
The 71-year-old, who earns in the region of £7m a year at Old Trafford and owns a string of racehorses, is ahead of his former Old Trafford captain Keane and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
 |
They are each worth £29m according to the fourth annual Sunday Times Sport Rich List, which accounts for sportsmen in Britain and Ireland.
As a player Keane, the former Sunderland and Ipswich manager, broke through the £100,000-a-week salary mark, while Arsenal boss Wenger continues to be handsomely paid during his long reign at the Emirates
