The Bixente Lizarazu-Grégoire Margotton duo has been commenting on the French football team’s matches on TF1 for more than seven years. But how much do they earn to cover these matches?
In 2016, Grégoire Margotton arrived on TF1 after having worked at Canal + for twenty-four years. He replaced Christian Jeanpierre as commentator on matches for the French football team, but also as presenter of the Sunday show Téléfoot. A career choice that was not dictated by money.
“I never wanted to work to be rich. It was never a driving force”confided the 54-year-old journalist during an interview with TV Starand add: “The negotiations were very quick (with the TF1 group, editor’s note): Do you want to comment on the French team? Yes and for the same salary as at Canal +. There you go: all that in 10 seconds. »
A nice contract for Lizarazu
And as money is not a taboo for Grégoire Margotton, the latter revealed his new salary at TF1. He receives 14,000 euros per month to comment on matches on the group’s channels and present Téléfoot.
Grégoire Margotton forms a duo that has become famous with Bixente Lizarazu. The 98 world champion arrived in 2009 at TF1, where he replaced Jean-Michel Larqué. Now well established in her position, “Liza” is paid around 350,000 euros per year, according to a survey carried out by The Parisian in 2010. No more recent figures have been released.
