adminLONDON. — Gareth Southgate will be the seventh highest-paid coach at the World Cup soccer finals.
The England boss banks an annual salary of £1.69million, according to Dutch media and entertainment company Zoomin TV – almost half of what Germany’s Joachim Low pulls in.
Low earns £3.31million and will be the highest earner in Russia when the Germans defend the trophy they lifted in Rio four years ago.
He is followed by Brazil boss Tite and Didier Deschamps of France, who both clear £3.02million.
Spain’s Julen Lopetegui, Stanislav Cherchesov of Russia and Portugal’s Fernando Santos are also above Southgate in the pay stakes.
While Carlos Queiroz, the former Manchester United assistant manager in charge of Iran, earns the same as his England rival.
Senegal’s Aliou Cisse will be the lowest-paid of the 32 coaches in Russia this summer, taking home £174 500-a-year.
Southgate (47) guided England through a successful qualifying campaign after taking over from £3million-a-year Sam Allardyce in November 2016 on a four-year contract. — The Mirror.
