Highest and lowest paid World Cup 2022 managers revealed with Gareth Southgate raking in more than France boss
Sponsored by
ENGLAND boss Gareth Southgate is NOT the highest-paid manager at the World Cup.
That's despite the Three Lions gaffer raking in a reported annual salary just shy of £5million.
His wage is over £1.5m more than Didier Deschamps, who won the 2018 World Cup with France, and a staggering £4.6m MORE than Wales boss Robert Page.
Page, who signed a deal to officially take over from Ryan Giggs in September, is reported to be on £328,000-a-year.
Although that may have increased after he officially penned terms to take over from the ex-Manchester United star.
Research by claims Page is the fifth lowest-paid manager at the World Cup.
