Top 10 Highest Paid Football Managers: Inzaghi’s Record Salary at Al-Hilal
With Simone Inzaghi’s recent signing with Al-Hilal at astronomical figures, we took the opportunity to compare the salaries of the highest-paid coaches worldwide.
This week, Saudi Arabian media revealed the staggering salary that Simone Inzaghi will earn upon leaving Inter Milan for Al-Hilal. The Italian coach is set to become the second-highest-paid manager globally, with an annual salary of €22 million. His decision to leave Europe, following a significant defeat in the Champions League final against PSG (5-0), becomes clearer in this context. Al-Hilal is not the only Saudi club offering lucrative pay, as the coaches of Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli also rank among the top ten earners, with Stefano Pioli and Matthias Jaissle, respectively.
Surprisingly, Diego Simeone holds the title of the highest-paid coach in the world. The Argentine earns nearly €26 million annually at Atlético de Madrid. In contrast, Xabi Alonso and Hansi Flick do not even make the top ten, according to Saudi reports. The Premier League features prominently with Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, David Moyes, and Unai Emery among the top earners. Additionally, Luis Enrique at PSG and José Mourinho at Fenerbahçe are also included in this elite list.
