The 2024/25 Ligue 1 season has just begun, and it comes with a new crop of managers looking to make their mark on the league. Some of these managers are well-known and experienced, while others are relative newcomers. But all of them have one thing in common: they are all hungry for success.
Luis Enrique has been appointed as the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain, one of the most successful clubs in world football. He is tasked with bringing the club back to the top of European football after a disappointing season last year.
Enrique's salary is a significant increase from his previous salary at Barcelona, where he was earning around €3 million (£2.5 million) per year. The increase in salary is a reflection of PSG's ambition to win the Champions League. The club has not won the competition since 2016, and they are hoping that Enrique can help them achieve that goal.
Patrick Vieira has been appointed as the new head coach of RC Strasbourg, and his salary is a matter of public interest. According to reports, Vieira is earning an annual salary of €3 million (£2.5 million), making him one of the highest-paid managers in Ligue 1.
In addition to his salary, Vieira is also reportedly being given a signing bonus of €1 million (£850,000). This is a common practice in football, and it is a way for clubs to show their commitment to their new managers.
