13 Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth) Annual wage: Over £1m per year

Andoni Iraola only had one victory in his first ten Premier League matches at Bournemouth last term, but has turned things around on the south coast.

Iraola had been among the lower earners in the division, reportedly making £1m per season under his initial two-year deal with the Cherries. However, given the former Rayo Vallecano boss signed a 12-month extension just before the end of 2023/24, we reckon he would have had his wages bumped up somewhat since.

12 Nuno Espirito Santo (Nottingham Forest) Annual wage: Over £2m per year

Nuno Espirito Santo was tasked with steering Nottingham Forest to safety, and looks set to take the Reds into Europe for 2025/26.

The former Wolves and Spurs boss was thought to have been made Forest’s highest-paid manager when brought in by Evangelos Marinakis, and with predecessor Steve Cooper on a salary of £2m upon his departure, we can assume Espirito Santo is on a heftier wage.

Given his success in 2024/25, we wouldn’t be surprised if he has had a pay rise after penning a new deal until 2028.

11 Eddie Howe (Newcastle United) Annual wage: £4m per year

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe.

Since taking the helm at Newcastle United, the Toon boss has delivered nothing short of remarkable results, ensuring they’re well ahead of schedule with a top-four finish in 2022/23. Under his leadership, the Magpies have not only soared to impressive heights, but have now established themselves as one of the Premier League’s more impressive outfits.

Eddie Howe is currently on an annual salary of £4m, which would have increased had the Magpies qualified for European football once again last term.

With Newcastle assured of a European place in 2025/26 courtesy of their historic EFL Cup triumph, Howe could yet be in line for a pay rise.

10 Marco Silva (Fulham) Annual wage: £4m per year

Marco Silva

Marco Silva has helped establish Fulham as a stable Premier League outfit since securing the Championship title and achieving promotion, further solidifying his position in the eyes of owner Shahid Khan.

Since taking charge at Craven Cottage in 2021, the former Everton boss has worked wonders, earning a substantial £4m salary along with an annual bonus of £500,000.

This high-profile success has clearly served as motivation for Silva, whose team have transformed into European challengers under his leadership.

9 Enzo Maresca (Chelsea) Annual wage: £4.2m per year

New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca

The latest boss churned out on the Stamford Bridge conveyor belt of managers was Enzo Maresca. While he had more recent trophy-winning experience than predecessor Mauricio Pochettino, his reported wage is dwarfed by the Argentinian’s, who was apparently earning over £10m a year in west London.

The Chelsea hierarchy is clearly giving Maresca the opportunity to up his salary through positive results, as if they were to make another change, it won’t be as pricey as letting Pochettino go prematurely.

In his first season at Stamford Bridge, Maresca guided Chelsea to two trophies, the Europa Conference League and Club World Cup.

8 Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace) Annual wage: £4.5m per year

Oliver Glasner was appointed as Crystal Palace boss on a deal until 2026 and has reportedly been earning a salary totalling around £4.5m a year.

The 2022 Europa League winner has had a promising start to his career at Selhurst Park, with the Eagles steering well clear of relegation bother in his first half-season before famously lifting the FA Cup in 2024/25.

The way Glasner’s going, this is just the beginning for him in south London.

7 David Moyes (Everton) Annual wage: £5m per year

Everton manager DavidMoyesreacts

David Moyes’ return to Everton has been an undoubted success, with the Scot steering the Merseysiders to safety after Sean Dyche was sacked in early January.

Reports claimed that Moyes, who won the Conference League during his time away from Goodison Park, signed a two-and-a-half-year deal worth £12.5m, coming in at £5m a year.

Despite being one of the pricier Premier League bosses, it’s certainly a decision that has paid off for the Friedkin Group.

6 Ruben Amorim (Manchester United) Annual wage: £6.5m per year

Manchester United decided to part ways with Erik ten Hag after a dreadful start to the 2024/25 campaign. While things in the league haven’t improved much, replacement Ruben Amorim has at least had success in Europe this term.

Aside from the hefty £11m-plus compensation fee to bring the Portuguese coach in from Sporting CP, Amorim is thought to be on a slightly lower annual salary than his predecessor, who brought in £6.75m a year plus bonuses.

Amorim is currently bringing in £6.5m per annum, though a strong end to the season may see this rise ahead of 2025/26.

5 Arne Slot (Liverpool) Annual wage: £6.9m per year

Arne Slot celebrates Liverpool's Premier League triumph

Amid all the managerial changes in 2024, the man stepping into the biggest shoes this summer was Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

Replacing Jurgen Klopp and rebuilding in his absence may have seemed a poisoned chalice of sorts, but winning the title at the first attempt is justification for the Reds paying handsomely to get the man they wanted from the Dutch Eredivisie.

Reports claim that Slot is now earning €8m (£6.9m) a year as Liverpool manager, which is (understandably) a significant climbdown from Klopp’s apparent wages of around £15m per annum.

4 Thomas Frank (Tottenham) Annual wage: £8m per year

Thomas Frank, who assumed the role of Brentford’s manager in 2018, helped the club to the promised land of the Premier League and become an established top-flight outfit.

Following Ange Postecoglou’s departure from Tottenham, Frank swiftly moved to north London and penned a three-year deal with Spurs, reportedly earning £8m a year.

There will be plenty of pressure on Frank to get things right for Tottenham in the Premier League, and he has almost doubled what he was on at Brentford by taking the Spurs job.
