Italian tactician Claudio Ranieri is one of the most famous journeymen when it comes to managers. He has managed 11 clubs in his career so far, signing 95 players in the process.
And he is unforgettable, right? Ranieri’s guidance saw Leicester City complete a fairytale season and win the Premier League in 2016.
His two most expensive acquisitions came during his spell at Monaco when he purchased Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez for a combined fee of £80m.
7. Roberto Mancini – £721.41m
Roberto Mancini is known for laying the cornerstone of Manchester City’s title-winning team in 2012.
The Italian started his team-building activity at the Etihad in 2010, as he signed Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko, the two most expensive players of his tenure in Manchester for a combined fee of £69m. The money came to good use as well, as the duo scored in the club’s league-winning game against Queens Park Rangers.
