Sarina Wiegman salary: Lionesses manager paid only fraction of men’s boss Gareth Southgate’s wage
The Independent says England women’s football team manager, Sarina Wiegman, reportedly earns over £4 million less than men’s manager, Gareth Southgate.
After the Lionesses historic win against Germany in the Womens Euro 2022 Cup last night, their coach is thought to be earning a bonus of around half of her £400,000 salary.
In comparison, Southgate’s salary is thought to have increased in November from £3 million per year to around £5 million plus bonuses.
The Football Association (FA) previously made salaries for managers like Wiegman and Southgate more performance-related and incentivised, with winning a major tournament being the biggest factor for deciding bonuses.
