Who is the Highest Paid Manager of the Premier League 2023?
Please note that the salaries of managers can vary depending on various factors such as club performance, contract negotiations, and individual achievements.
There are several top class coaches in the Premier League since the tournament itself is considered one of the best top flight in Europe. So do not be surprise to see clubs dig deep down their resources when it comes to paying the coaches.
1. Pep Guardiola (Manchester City):
Pep Guardiola has been one of the most successful managers in recent years, leading Manchester City to several Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy in 2023. He is known for his tactical brilliance and meticulous approach to the game.
With a whopping four Premier League titles under his name, he is at the top of the rich list with a whopping £20 million. Taking bonuses into account, he earns another £5 million.
2. Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool):
Jurgen Klopp has transformed Liverpool into a formidable force, winning the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League during his tenure. His charismatic personality and high-intensity playing style have endeared him to fans worldwide.
Jurgen Klopp has bagged himself a £15 million salary and £1.5 million bonus package. A fan favourite, Klopp has restored plenty of pride at Liverpool after winning the Champions League and Premier League.
3. Erik Ten Hag (Manchester United)
In total, eight people have sat in the dugout of Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. While some names have been stopgaps, Manchester United's ownership has forked out tens of millions on finding the right manager over the years.
Alas, can Erik ten Hag lead the team back to its former glory? The £10 million has been well spent so far following the League Cup win. The achievement would also help him fulfil his bonus targets, which could bag him another £2.5 million. Erik Ten Hag has helped the Red devils return on Champions League grounds which was actually one of the club's objectives in the recent years.
4. Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
Mikel Arteta, a former Arsenal player, became the manager of the club in 2019. He has been focused on rebuilding the team and implementing his philosophy of attacking football.
There was a mixed response when Mikel Arteta extended his deal with Arsenal until the end of the 2024/25 season last year. The £9.5 million agreement left several Arsenal fans debating. However, many of the sceptics will have now changed their minds following the Spaniard’s progressive run.
The manager almost restored Arsenal's Premier League glory following his 2nd spot finish in the Premier League. Though he did not win the Premier League title, at least he helped the club come back to the Champions League stage after a long time.
5. David Moyes (West Ham United)
Moyes’ experience across several different teams saw West Ham United offer a £4 million salary deal and bonuses of £1 million. Moyes has now become a household name in East London, initially being offered a six-month deal in 2017 before returning permanently in 2019.
The Manager has helped the club win a trophy (UEFA Conference League title) after a long period of drought.
6. Sean Dyche (Everton)
Football fans were beginning to miss Sean Dyche after his short sabbatical following his dismissal from Burnley in April 2022. He became synonymous with the Lancashire club during his 10-year journey at the club. His prowess in dealing with seasonal challenges earnt him an attractive contract as he signed on to help turn Everton's dire season around in January.
Everton's ownership will be hoping their investment pays off. The team is currently sitting one place above relegation, with all to play for over the next three games. If Dyche doesn't continue to work his magic, Everton could drop out of the Premier League for the first time in history.
7. Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
After his previous stint in the Premier League, Unai Emery returned to La Liga and impressed with Villarreal. His Europa League win in 2021 helped him earn an attracting £4 million salary with Aston Villa. He also receives £1 million in bonuses.
The payoff has seemed to work for Villa, with Emery helping his team sit firmly in the top half of the table.
8. Eddie Howe (New Castle United)
The Toon boss has more than impressed since taking the helm. He has helped the club achieved a top four finish that grants them a direct qualification for Champions League football.
Howe will be keen to expand on Newcastle United's progress. Meanwhile, his bosses would be chuffed with their investment so far.
9. Marco Silva(Fulham)
Winning the Championship and getting promoted has affirmed Marco Silva's place in the good books with Fulham owner Shahid Khan. The former right-back has worked wonders at Craven Cottage since taking the helm in 2021, seeing him earn a £4 million salary and a bonus of £500,000.
The move has evidently helped motivate Silva, with his team currently sitting 10th in the league, above West London rivals Chelsea. This feat could earn him a pay rise during the summer.
