It used to be the case 15 to 20 years ago that managers would only be paid a fraction of the wages earned by the players they managed.

However, things have changed dramatically in that regard, with the talents of certain managers (e.g Guardiola) being worth their weight in gold, due to the huge impact they can have on the teams they coach.

Not every manager in the English top-flight earns a fortune as we shall see, but they are certainly much more handsomely rewarded than they would have been in the past.

Press the next page as we list the reported salaries of every manager at Premier League teams.

5) 20) Thomas Frank (Brentford) – £1.5m a year

The eccentric Dane got his side promoted to the Premier League last season so his position at the bottom is unsurprising but, if he keeps the Bees up this campaign, he will be deserving of a pay rise.

19) Dean Smith (Norwich) – £1.5m a year

The former Aston Villa manager has a job on his hands in turning around the Canaries season and it appears he didn’t demand a large salary to take on the mammoth task.

18) Graham Potter (Brighton) – £2m a year

Considering the Seagulls are sitting ninth in the Premier League table currently, Potter may well be knocking on owner Tony Bloom’s door soon for a wage increase.

17) Bruno Lage (Wolves) – £2.5m a year

The Portuguese coach has done a magnificent job since taking over from Nuno Espirito Santo in the summer and he could well be targeted by more high-profile teams.

16) Eddie Howe (Newcastle) – £3m a year

The Englishman has seemingly got to grips with the problems at the Magpies, and rather than looking destined for relegation, recent form suggests they’ll keep their top-flight status.

15) Sean Dyche (Burnley) – £3.5m a year

The Clarets also seemed to be staring at a possible relegation but Dyche has done an excellent job of turning things around since the New Year. He has more than earned his salary.

14) Patrick Vieira (Crystal Palace) – £4m a year

The Frenchman has got the Eagles playing a good brand of football, and he deserves recognition for managing to cope with the large turnover of players since arriving at Selhurst Park in the summer.

13) Roy Hodgson (Watford) – £4.5m a year

The 74-year-old seemingly can’t turn his back on management but taking on the challenge of the Hornets could prove too much, even for a man of his experience.

12) Steven Gerrard (Aston Villa) – £5m a year

After an excellent start to life at Villa Park, the Liverpool legend has found it tougher going in recent weeks. After taking over in November, though, his success will be judged over the long term.

11) David Moyes (West Ham) – £5m a year

The Scotsman was actually a stop-gap appointment but he has transformed the club’s fortunes in a very short period of time, and won over the Hammers supporters in the process.

10) Frank Lampard (Everton) – £5m a year

The former Chelsea manager has returned to management in the Premier League after a year out of football. Considering the chaos in the boardroom at Goodison Park, however, Lampard has everything to lose, and not much to gain, by moving to the Toffees.

9) Ralph Hasenhuttl (Southampton) – £6m a year

The Saints have recognised the Austrian is key to the club keeping their top-flight status. With lower investment in the playing squad, they are relying on Hasenhuttl’s tactical nous to continue overperforming in the Premier League.

8) Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea) – £7m a year

After winning the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup within a year of arriving at Stamford Bridge, it won’t be long before Tuchel is offered a more lucrative contract.

7) Marcelo Bielsa (Leeds) – £8m a year

The Argentine is held in high esteem at Elland Road, and he has a salary to match, but poor recent performances have led to question marks about his ability to keep them in the Premier League.

6) Ralf Rangnick (Manchester United) – £8m a year

After the Red Devils handed him a six-month contract, the German is not expected to be around beyond the end of the season. There has been talk of a consultancy role, though, which could lead to him staying at United in some capacity.

5) Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) – £8.3m a year

The Spaniard is reportedly going to be offered a new deal, with his current contract set to expire in 2023. Whether he deserves it, however, may depend on whether he can secure Champions League qualification this season.

4) Brendan Rodgers (Leicester) – £10m a year

The Foxes protected their asset when they handed Rodgers a contract extension at the end of 2019, with Arsenal said to be pursuing him. However, performances have tailed off alarmingly this season and he may not stay until his current deal expires in three years’ time.

3) Antonio Conte (Tottenham) – £15m a year

Spurs stumped up the cash to hire the Italian. He is a serial winner but even he has questioned whether he can succeed at the London club, after four defeats in his last five league matches.

2) Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool) – £16m a year

The German has transformed the Reds since his arrival six and a half years ago, so his salary is undoubtedly warranted, especially considering the success he has brought to the club.

1) Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) – £20m a year

The best manager in the world deserves a high salary, and the Citizens have been more than willing to make Guardiola one of the most well-paid managers in the game.
