The Sun has unveiled the Premier League coaching salary list. And the German Chelsea manager, who led the club to victory in the Champions League and the Club World Cup, is only eighth.
Attention to the eyes, it is not a question of shedding a tear on the salaries of the coaches who work in England, far from it. But in this salary chart published by the British tabloid, the position of Thomas Tuchel is still surprising. If the first place of Pep Guardiola with 22.2 million euros per year is not surprising, any more than that of his closest pursuer, Jurgen Klopp, who earns 19.1 million euros on the Liverpool bench , you have to go down to eighth position to find Thomas Tuchel. Hired a year ago, when he had just been fired by Paris Saint-Germain, the German manager earns “only” 8.4 million euros, where Antonio Conte receives 18 million euros per season, Brendan Rodgers 12 million euros with Leicester or even 9.5 million euros for Marcelo Bielsa and Ralf Rangnick.

In exchange for this, Chelsea won a Champions League, and the Club World Cup, with the Blues currently third in the Premier League and qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League, where they have just beaten Lille. (2-0) Stamford Bridge, Carabao Cup finalist next Sunday against Liverpool, and still in the Cup race. What necessarily make the happiness of the Russian leaders of Chelsea, who must thank Qatar every day for having fired the German technician from Paris Saint-Germain. At PSG, Thomas Tuchel earned significantly less than what Paris currently pays Mauricio Pochettino.
