English Premier League Manager Salaries

All the talk these days is about the appointment of Antonio Conte as the new Chelsea FC manager. Conte signed a three year contract, which starts in 2016/17. The Italian player-turned-coach will reportedly receive an annual salary of £6.5m.

Even bigger news, which was announced a month or two ago, is that Pep Guardiola will be taking charge of Manchester City next season. The famous Catalan manager is set to receive a record-breaking salary of £15m per season. Jose Mourinho was the record-holder up to this point with a £13.2m annual salary during his second spell at Chelsea, which ended earlier this season.

It will be interesting to see if the owners of Leicester City award Claudio Ranieri with a new lucrative contract following a heroic season. After narrowly avoiding relegation last year, the Foxes are at the top of the table, seven points clear with six games to go.
