Tuchel earns sixth highest salary in the world at Bayern

According to the list published by the French newspaper L'Équipe on March 30, Tuchel ranked sixth in the top high-paid coaches, while Potter ranked fourth with $ 284,000 per week.

Standing above the Chelsea coach are two colleagues who are working in the English Premier League. Jurgen Klopp is paid $ 374,000 a week by Liverpool while Man City coach Pep Guardiola is paid the same salary as the stars in his squad - $ 470,000.

However, that is not the highest salary of a coach. Holding this position is Diego Simeone, who is being paid by Atletico $ 711,000 per week, equivalent to $ 37 million per year. Simeone's salary is higher than every player in the current Atletico squad.

The list also has Max Allegri (Juventus) in fifth place, with $269,000 per week. Real coach Carlo Ancelotti is only sixth, receiving $ 229,000 per week. Behind him are Simone Inzaghi (Inter), Jose Mourinho (AS Roma), Xabi Alonso (Leverkusen), Niko Kovac (Wolfsburg) and Xavi (Barca).

Tuchel was unemployed after being sacked by Chelsea earlier in the season. He started taking charge of Bayern last week, after the "Gray Lobster" sacked Julian Nagelsmann. The current salary of the German coach is higher than when he led Chelsea. At that time, Tuchel received $ 8.7 million a year and now it is $ 13 million.

Leading Chelsea saw Potter's income leap. From a salary of $ 2.5 million a year at Brighton, he is paid $ 14.8 million a year by Chelsea, six times higher. However, despite winning tickets to the Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea have not found stability under Potter and are still struggling with 10th place in the Premier League.
