English signing Steven Gerrard through Saudi Al-Ettifaq confirms the entry of Arab football into the global football elite, a disruption that has at its base the infinite (or almost) economic power of that country’s clubs.
Gerrard, according to some sources, will find out almost 18 million euros per season. A figure that puts him in second place in the ranking of the highest paid technicians, according to the relationship published by journalist Tancredi Palmieri on his twitter account.
The list is ruled Pep Guardiola, who as the head of Manchester City earns 23 million euros per year. These are the top ten highest paid technicians, according to the aforementioned source.
1
Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)
The Catalan coach of Manchester City earns 23 million per season from the citizen team, where he achieved a historic treble this season (Premier League, Cup and Champions League). This will be his eighth season in charge of the English team.
2
Steven Gerrard (Al-Ettifaq)
The Englishman, after spending time with Scottish Rangers and English Aston Villa as a coach, jumped to second place in the ranking of the highest paid technicians after his move to Saudi Al-Ettifaq, which will pay him 17.7 million euros.
3
Diego Pablo Simeone (In Madrid)
The Argentine, on his way to breaking all records for longevity on the mattress bench, faces his twelfth ‘full’ season at Atleti, who he joined midway through the 2011-12 season. Receive 15 million per campaign.
4
Thomas Tuchel (Bayern Munich)
The German coach, signed by Bayern in the middle of last season, managed to win the Bundesliga with his last breath and hopes to confirm the success of his signing this season. His contract guarantees an income of 12 million euros per year.
5
Mauricio Pochettino (Chelsea)
The former player of Tottenham and PSG, among other teams, returned to the fore this summer with his move to Chelsea, opening the doors for him to return to the Premier League. 11.5 million euros is enough reason for the ‘ok’ of ‘Poche’ in the ‘blue’ group.
6
Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool)
Arriving at Anfield in October 2015, Klopp found his natural home in Liverpool. The club and coach form a symbiosis that has yielded great results for the ‘reds’, who are now forced to a ‘re-foundation’ after a very difficult season. The German pocketed 10.5 million annually.
7
Erik ten Hag (Man United)
The Dutch coach managed to refloat the ship of a team that in recent years could not find its own identity, ranking it in third position in the Premier. 10.6 million euros, the ‘reasons’ that made him become United coach.
8
Massimiliano Allegri (Juventus)
The Italian, discussed for his work at the head of the ‘vecchia signora’, continues as the leader of the Turin squad, punished by the loss of points this season, which influenced his classification in Serie A. He earns 9 million per year.
9
Luis Enrique Martinez (PSG)
The Asturian, who has been without a team since he was sacked as Spain coach after the World Cup in Qatar, signed a two-year contract with PSG in the ‘post Messi’ era. The former Barça coach will have a record 8 million a year.
10
Jose Mourinho (Roma)
He led Roma to the Europa League final a year after winning the Conference. The ‘tifosi’ of the capital worship it. And the Portuguese feels the Olímpico in the capital of Italy as his own home. Among other reasons, for the 7 million per year it charges.
