Pep Guardiola remains the Premier League’s highest-earning head coach but the Manchester City chief continues to be eclipsed by former La Liga rival Diego Simeone.
The Atletico Madrid boss is the best paid in Europe according to L’Equipe’s annual salary report with an eye-watering monthly income of €2.83m (£2.48m) before tax - or £29.8m a year.
And Guardiola, who is second overall, trails him by almost €1m a month. The newspaper said that City pay him €1.87m (£1.64m), or €22.44m (£19.7m) a year.
