Leaders in the ranking of the highest paid coaches at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Comparison with the highest salary at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The ranking of the highest paid coaches at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil was headed by Fabio Capello, who is well known to Russian viewers. According to a contract with the Russian Football Union, he received 7 million euros annually. Not a bad increase in your pension.
There are no such heavyweights at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. The coaches of the favorite teams get more than the rest. High expectations, great responsibility - everything is fair.
Ranking leaders
Coach of reigning world champions Joachim Loew can boast of the highest salary. Every year, an amount of 3.85 million euros is transferred to his account, which is quite a decent reward, given that the German national team is again among the main favorites for the coveted trophy.
The honorable second place is taken by two coaches at once. These are the mentors of the national teams of Brazil (Tite) and France (Didier Deschamps). According to official data, their salaries in the camp of "pentacampeons" and "tricolors" are 3.5 million euros each.
Another mentor, whose salary exceeds 3 million a year, could be Julen Lopetegui (Spanish national team), but the day before the start of the World Cup, he was fired from his post.
Chasing Leaders
The pursuit of the top three is headed by Stanislav Cherchesov (Russian national team) and Fernando Santos (Portugal national team). The coach of the Russian national team receives 2.5 million euros annually, and his colleague from Portugal - 2.25 million euros. The coach of the reigning European champions is fulfilling his contract in full. Will hope, and Stanislav Salamovich, with his results at the home championship, will prove the correctness of the choice of the Russian Football Union and a reasonable salary with six zeros.
The bulk of specialists (to be precise, 12 people) receive salaries ranging from 1 to 2 million euros. For that kind of money, Don Fabio (Fabio Capello) wouldn't even get out of his chair. The coaches of the group rivals of the Russian national team are also represented in this category. Oscar Tabares (Uruguay) - 1.7 million euros, Hector Cooper (Egypt) - 1.5 million euros and Juan Antonio Pizzi (Saudi Arabia) - 1.44 million euros.
Poor coaches
14 specialists receive less than 1 million in European currency. Most of them are coaches of second-tier teams who do not claim high places. The Croatian national team's helmsman Zlatko Dalic stands apart here, whose national team can be ranked among the shadow favorites of the competition due to its rather strong composition in terms of positions.
It is also worth paying attention to the outsider rating Alla Cisse. The former player and now the coach of the Senegal national team receives about 200 thousand euros a year. Thus, he is not only the only black coach in this championship, but also the least paid. No racism - just business!
