All Premier League managers' salaries ranked (2024/25)

For all the superstars playing in the Premier League, often the most crucial member of the team is the manager. No wonder, then, that some of them are paid the big bucks. Of course, some bosses earn more than others, but what do managers’ pay packets look like?

Based on the latest reports, here are the details of how much the current top-flight managers earn. As you might expect, there are some eye-watering sums here, so brace yourselves.

15

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.

14

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 a pay rise was on the horizon.

13

Kieran McKenna (Ipswich Town)

Annual wage: £3m per year

With Ipswich Town fending off apparent interest from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in manager Kieran McKenna, the Tractor Boys handed the 38-year-old a new contract – giving the boss a fresh boost going into the club’s first Premier League season in over two decades.

It is thought that McKenna’s new terms were around £3m a year, which, while representing a significant rise, still left the double-promotion-winning coach at the poorer end of the Premier League scale.

How relegation from the Premier League affects this remains to be seen.

12

Eddie Howe (Newcastle United)

Annual wage: £4m per year

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.

11

Marco Silva (Fulham)

Annual wage: £4m per year

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.

10

Enzo Maresca (Chelsea)

Annual wage: £4.2m per year

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.

European success may hold the key to this for Maresca, who has at least overseen a competitive Blues side on multiple fronts in 2024/25.

9

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 making the FA Cup final in 2024/25.

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

8

Thomas Frank (Brentford)

Annual wage: £4.5m per year

£4.5m is a respectable amount of money for a very respectable manager. Thomas Frank, who assumed the role of Brentford’s manager in 2018, has helped the club to the promised land of the Premier League and become an established top-flight outfit.

Following Jürgen Klopp’s departure from Liverpool, Frank is now second behind Pep Guardiola as the division’s longest-serving manager.

Having dropped from 9th to 16th last year, there may have been concerns over his future, but the Bees’ Premier League status has rarely been under threat during his tenure.

7

Ange Postecoglou (Tottenham Hotspur)

Annual wage: £5m per year

Despite missing out on Champions League football after a poor finish to the campaign, Ange Postecoglou had a relatively successful first season at Tottenham Hotspur.

He achieved the best start to a Premier League season for a new manager in the league’s history, beating out Premier League legends like Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho.

While they aim for European glory amid a terrible league campaign, the former Celtic boss stands to see a boost in his current annual salary of £5m, which would be no less than he’d deserve given where Tottenham were upon his arrival.

6

David Moyes (Everton)

Annual wage: £5m per year

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.
