German media leaks highest-paid national team football coach salaries

The German publication Bild has released a report detailing the annual salaries of current national football team coaches, offering a rare look into the compensation of top international managers. The data reveals that Carlo Ancelotti, who leads the Brazilian national team, is the highest-paid coach on the list, earning 10 million euros annually.

Following Ancelotti, Jurgen Klopp, the current head coach of the German national team, ranks second with an annual salary of 7 million euros. Mauricio Pochettino, manager of the United States national team, secures the third position with 6.8 million euros per year. The list also highlights Ivan Jovanovic, coach of the Greek national team, who occupies the 11th position in the rankings with an annual contract worth 900,000 euros.
