Wages Of World Cup Managers Revealed: Germany Coach Earns Eight Times More Than Rohr

Germany coach Joachim Low will be the highest earning coach at the 2018 World Cup, The Mirror UK has revealed, making reference to Dutch media and entertainment company Zoomin TV.

The World Cup-winning manager takes home £3.31million every year, approximately eight times more than his compatriot, Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr.

At £436,600 per annum (around N216.1 million in Nigerian currency), Rohr is the the 24th highest paid coach.

Egypt national team boss Hector Cuper pockets £1.30m every year and is the highest paid of the five coaches that will be in the dugout for an African team, followed by Frenchman Herve Renard, who is paid £681,000 by his employer, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.

Rohr earns £262,100 more than the lowest-paid of the 32 coaches in Russia, Senegal's Aliou Cisse, but is the least paid among the Group D coaches, behind Argentina's Jorge Sampaoli (£1.55m), Iceland's Helmir Hallgrimsson (£611,000) and Croatia's Zlatko Dalic (£478,500).

Tite (Brazil), Didier Deschamps (France), Julian Lopetegui (Spain) and  Stanislav Cherchesov (Russia) complete the top five highest paid coaches at the World Cup.
