Allegri tops list of Serie A’s best paid coaches
Although his colleagues have closed the gap this season,
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri remains the highest paid
coach in Serie A for the 2018/19 campaign.
The Bianconeri tactician has led his side to the last four
consecutive Scudetti and that is reflected in his value and
contract, which sees the Tuscan earn €7.5 million net per
season at the Allianz Stadium.
However, the financial report in La Gazzetta dello Sport does
point out that his peers have now closed the wage gap, with the
second-highest paid being Carlo Ancelotti on €6.5m at Napoli
after returning to Italian football after a jaunt across the
continent over the past decade.
Inter’s Luciano Spalletti is next on €4.5m and he is followed
by Roma counterpart Eusebio Di Francesco with €3m, double his
wage from last year after renewing his contract.
Completing the top five is Gennaro Gattuso of Milan on €2m per
year, the same amount that Torino are paying for Walter
Mazzarri, before Atalanta’s miracle man Gian Piero Gasperini
makes an appearance on €1.4m.
That sees him marginally in front of Simone Inzaghi of Lazio on
€1.3m, who is followed by Marco Giampaolo (€1.1m), Stefano
Pioli (€1m) and Roberto De Zerbi (€1m).
Then come the tacticians who earn under €1m per year at their
respective clubs, led by Cagliari’s Rolando Maran on €800,000,
ahead of Davide Ballardini (€700,000) and Filippo Inzaghi
(€600,000).
Roberto D’Aversa of Parma earns €450,000 at the Stadio Ennio
Tardini, ahead of Moreno Longo, Aurelio Andreazzoli and
Leonardo Semplici, who are all on €400,000.
The two lowest paid tacticians in the Italian top flight are
Udinese’s Julio Velazquez and Lorenzo D’Anna of Chievo, both of
whom take home €350,000 per season.
