An Argentinian sports newspaper did some digging on the income of the coaches of the 32 national teams that came to SA to compete for the golden worldcup.
Some of these gentlemen have been fired in the meantime as their team underperformed, like France and Brazil f.i.
Anyway the massive, crazy difference between some coaches is mindblowing.
Far ahead of anybody else is England's Fabio Capello who earns a wapping US$9.9million per year. That's about Rand75,500,000. Or just less than Rand6,300,000 per month. Kick that! And looking at England's play and results at the worldcup, we can honestly say: it's a joke!!!!!
Bafana Bafana's Brazilian coach Perreira comes 10th with US$1.9 million annual cash.
Italy's Lippi - another big looser at this cup - is 2nd with US$4.1 million. That's still Rand2,600,000 per month. For not winning a single game as outgoing world champion! Crazy!
The rest of the top ten are Aguirre from Mexico, who resigned in the meantime; German coach Loew, who currently is in a money dispute with the German football association; the Dutch coach is on 5th spot; Hitzfeld from Switzerland on 6th; Spain's del Bosque gets US$2.2 million; our well known Carlos Queiroz is the 8th best earner as Portugal's coach; followed by Dutchman Verbeek coaching Australia.
So of the top ten best paid national coaches, only 2 are in the semi finals. And 4 of them didn't even make it further than the group stages.
The digraced French coach Domenech is on 19th spot with US$720.000 annual income. Well no more that is.
Dunga is on the 11th spot and Maradona just behind him. The 2nd best paid coach of an African team, after Perreira, is Le Guen who coached Cameroon. Still worth just under a million US$ per year. And Cameroon got nil points at this worldcup.
Tabarez who has put Uruguay in the semi finals only gets US$300,000 annual salary. 30th Out of 32. Tell that to Capello!!!!
