It's Champions League semi-finals week, as four of the finest teams in the world prepare for the biggest matches of the season so far.

Liverpool, Villereal, Manchester City and Real Madrid are the sole survivors of a fascinating year in the tournament – all will believe they can win and all will be hungry for the opportunity to eliminate their rival in the semis.

With two clubs from the UK and two from Spain, it’s a good year for the Premier League and La Liga respectively.

While the players from Europe’s top clubs have been looking to dominate one another on the pitch, there’s one key head to head that the Daily Star felt hadn’t had the attention it deserved.

Which semi-finals manager has the biggest pile of cash to their name – Pep Guardiola or Carlo Ancelotti?

Pep Guardiola vs Carlo Ancelotti's net worth

Like the match taking place tonight, April 26, this one could have gone either way. Put simply, both these blokes are absolutely loaded with tens of millions to their names.

Pep Guardiola's net worth

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has a massive net worth of £31million as of April 26, according to Spear's.

Pep has done it all, managing some of the biggest clubs in the world and guiding them all to glory.

He’s won the domestic league with all four of the teams he’s managed and won the Champions League twice with Barcelona, producing one of the most eye-catching and world-beating sides in recent history in the process.

At Bayern Munich, he lifted the Bundesliga three times winning more than 75% of the games his team walked out of the tunnel for.

Now at Manchester City, he has taken the club to new heights, securing its place amongst England and Europe’s elite and bagging them three Premier League titles in the process.

He will have one big focus now though, winning the Champions League with his adoptive British home and helping perhaps the most formidable club in England secure the most desirable club trophy for the first time.

Carlo Ancelotti's net worth

Carlo Ancelotti has a massive net worth of $50million (£39.3million) according toCelebrity Net Worth.

Like Guardiola, Ancelotti has done it all too – but his ‘all’ looks a little different to the elite-clubs-only ‘all’ of this week’s opposite number.

Ancelotti has managed a far larger number of clubs, having been at the helm of 11 clubs, compared to Pep’s four, not including Carlo's stint as the assistant coach of the Italy national team.

While Pep’s second job was with Barcelona, Ancelotti had to wait until his fourth before he was given the keys to the Ferrari that is Juventus.

In his career he has managed Italy (as an assistant), Reggiana, Parma, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton and now finally Real Madrid.

During this time he has won an enormous amount of silverware including the league titles of four of the five biggest divisions in Europe and the Champions League with two different teams.

If Real Madrid wins the league this year, which they look on track to do, he will become the first in history to win the title of all five of Europe’s top leagues.
