Gerrard is the fourth highest paid coach on the planet after moving to Saudi Arabia. Who is better off and how much does the English legend earn?
Saudi Arabia has taken the football world by storm and the teams there are bringing in more than just quality players for big money. There is also interest in coaches, but they are not yet flocking to the country. The exception is Steven Gerrard, who has become the fourth highest paid coach in the world.
Saudi Arabia has taken the football world by storm and the teams there are bringing in more than just quality players for big money. There is also interest in coaches, but they are not yet flocking to the country. The exception is Steven Gerrard, who has become the fourth highest paid coach in the world.
The Liverpool legend has had two coaching jobs in adult football. At Rangers, Steven Gerrard made a great name for himself, leading the famous Scottish club for three years and concluding his tenure by winning the title.
This was followed by a stint at Aston Villa, where the glory wasn’t quite as great. On the contrary. He didn’t even last a year on the bench before he was sacked for unsatisfactory performances and results. Subsequently, he was out of work for almost a year and moved to Saudi Arabia for work in early July.
The Middle East is luring big football stars. Cristiano Ronaldo arrived as early as January, and over the summer stars like Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante have emulated him, the list would not be short. There is money in Saudi Arabia and it shows.
There has also been interest in coaches. But most have resisted so far. Not Gerrard, who has no regrets. He runs Al-Ettifaq, located in the city of Dammam, about 80 kilometres from the border with Bahrain, where, unlike Saudi Arabia, alcohol is legal.
Anyway, back to the Liverpool legend. Gerrard has become the fourth highest paid coach in the world, earning £15.2 million a year, or over £421 million.
According to The Sun, only Diego Simeone (over £831m), Pep Guardiola (over £554m) and Jürgen Klopp (over £443m) are doing better.
Gerrard leaves behind coaching aces such as Carlo Ancelotti, who is the eighth highest paid coach on the planet, and José Mourinho, who rounds out the top 12.
