Mundo Deportivo newspaper revealed the salary that Jose Mourinho will receive in exchange for assuming the technical leadership of Fenerbahce for two seasons.
In practice, thanks to this salary, Mourinho continued to be among the 10 highest-paid coaches in the world, but he may have lost a lot of money compared to the Saudi offers that were presented to him recently.
According to the report, Mourinho will receive 10.5 million euros annually from Fenerbahce, making him equal to the salary of Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag, and only one million euros behind Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Pep Guardiola maintains his position as the highest paid coach in the world, as he earns 23.5 million euros annually at Manchester City.
International media had revealed that Al-Qadisiyah, the latest arrival to the Saudi League, had offered him double Mourinho’s current salary, so the Aramco-owned club was willing to pay 30 million euros annually to Special One.
In the end, Mourinho saw that the best option for his career was to continue within Europe and experience a new experience in a new league within the Old Continent.
