When a football club performs well, credit is given to the manager; when the club performs poorly, blame is placed on the coach or manager. The irony is that the manager does not play and the players are solely responsible for the results. Who do you believe should be held accountable for poor performance?
Let's now change gears and look at top manager salaries in 2022.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, earns the highest annual salary in the league at £19 million.
He is regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time, having won the most consecutive league games in La Liga, the Bundesliga, and the Premier League.
Jurgen Kloop is the league's second highest paid manager, earning a whopping £16 million per year. The German tactician has assisted Liverpool in winning several titles, including the UEFA Champions League, Premier League, EFL Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup.
Antonio Conte, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, is in the top three, with an annual salary of around £15 million. He assisted Chelsea in winning the Premier League and FA Cup, as well as Inter Milan in winning the Serie A title.
