5th Place

Gerado Seoane (Borussia Mönchengladbach): 3.2 million euros

Niko Kovač (Borussia Dortmund): 4 million euros

2nd Place

Erik ten Hag (Bayer 04 Leverkusen): 5.5 million euros

1st Place

Vincent Kompany (Bayern Munich): 7 million euros

Gerado Seoane in particular seems to have negotiated well, because unlike the other coaches in the top 5, Gladbach did not play internationally last season, nor will they in the coming one.

New Leipzig coach Ole Werner is said to earn 2.5 million euros at Leipzig, while Sandro Wagner and Wolfsburg’s new coach Paul Simonis are more in the midfield. Lukas Kwasniok, on the other hand, lands just ahead of Horst Steffen. Among the new coaches, Leverkusen’s Erik ten Hag is pocketing the most, landing directly in second place behind Vincent Kompany.
