Before the defeat against AS Monaco (1-2), Friday evening in an advanced match of the third day of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain had formalized six contract extensions. Including that of Luis Enrique.
Now linked to the capital club until June 2030, the Spanish technician benefited from a significant salary increase. According to The Teamits new lease provides for emoluments of around 20 million euros gross per year, or eight million more than previously.
Luis Enrique is obviously rewarded for his ultra-favorable record at PSG, notably winning two Champions Leagues. From now on, the former La Roja coach is on the podium of the highest paid coaches on the planet. Only the Italian Simone Inzaghi and the Argentinian Diego Simeone are ahead of him in this ranking.
Top 5 highest paid coaches in the world
1-Simone Inzaghi (Al-Hilal), around €27 million
2-Diego Simeone (Atlético de Madrid), around €24 million
3-Luis Enrique (PSG), around €20 million
4-Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), around €17 million
5-Xabi Alonso (Chelsea), around €15 million
Note that the Austrian Oliver Glasner, who arrived on the Nottingham Forest sidelines during the summer, also receives a salary estimated at 15 million euros gross per year. The Italians Enzo Maresca (Manchester City) and Roberto De Zerbi (Tottenham) as well as the Portuguese José Mourinho (Real Madrid) complete this ranking.
