As the Blues prepare to play the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, a crowning of the France team would guarantee a nice jackpot for Hervé Renard.
The World Cup in Australia and New Zealand will be very lucrative for its winner. Fifa has indeed decided to completely review its bonus system with the prospect of a big check for world champion players. The overall allocation has tripled compared to the World Cup organized in France in 2019 and while usually the international body was content to pay a share of the cake to each Federation according to their results, Fifa this time decided to pay the players directly.
The winners will therefore receive no less than 270,000 dollars (or just over 240,000 euros) and all participants are guaranteed to receive a minimum of 30,000 dollars (or 26,700 euros) in the event of elimination from the group stage. This is more than what the Blues would have received in the event of a coronation during the last Euro, which was in fact to earn them 24,000 euros each. And if the France team succeeds in its objective of reaching the semi-finals, they will receive a minimum of 165,000 dollars (146,800 euros).
But Hervé Renard could earn a lot more. Because if he was satisfied with an annual salary of 400,000 euros when he succeeded Corinne Deacon, more or less what his predecessor received, he negotiated much more profitable bonuses. While a coronation of the France team was to be worth a check for 100,000 euros to the former central defender, the tricolor coach will receive no less than 600,000 euros in the event of victory, on August 20! That’s six times more!
