German coach Thomas Tuchel will pocket around 5 million pounds (6 million euros) annually for training England for 18 months. This contract, as usual, contains a series of incentives that will increase his salary if he achieves certain yet-to-be-disclosed goals.
This deal will start on January 1, so Tuchel will not be in charge of England during the next international football break from November 11 to 19, when the ‘Three Lions’ face each other Greece already Republic of Ireland. This is due to a clause in his old contract with Bayern Munichh that prevents him from coaching another team without paying compensation.
Furthermore, Tuchel himself confirmed in a press conference that he wants a “clean start” and begin training with a single tournament in mind, the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The German’s salary is significantly lower than the 7.5 million pounds he received in Bavaria per season, although he only spent one year with the Bavarians, and the 10 million pounds (12 million euros) per year he earned in Chelsea, where he remained a year and nine months.
However, Tuchel’s salary is higher than what he earned Gareth Southgate upon his arrival in the English team in 2016. The English coach earned 3 million pounds (3.6 million euros) and suffered a 30% cut due to covid in 2021. However, in the same year he signed an extension to his deal until December 2024 which increased his fees to £5 million annually.
