Complete List of All 20 Premier League Manager’s Wages

10Nuno Espirito Santo (West Ham United)

£4.5 million

Nuno Espirito Santo was one of the most impressive managers in the Premier League in 24/25 as he guided Nottingham Forest to the Europa League. However, he was relieved of his duties just a few games into the 25/26 campaign after falling out with owner, Evangelos Marinakis.

He wasn’t out of a job for long, though, as West Ham appointed him to replace Graham Potter, giving him a two-year deal worth £4.5m-per-year. The talented Portuguese manager has a huge task on his hands with the Hammers having endured a dismal start to the campaign. Whether he can bring the good times back to the London Stadium remains to be seen.

9Enzo Maresca (Chelsea)

£4.5 million

Many pundits and supporters were slightly surprised when Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea decided to part ways, despite a strong finish to the 2023/24 season which saw the Blues qualify for Europe, albeit the Conference League. In the Argentine’s place, the west Londoners turned to Enzo Maresca, who had guided Leicester City back to the top flight as Championship winners.

Signing a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge, the Italian is no longer an unknown entity, having won the Europa Conference League and the Club World Cup in his first season. Life at Stamford Bridge has started positively but whether he’s the man for the long-term project under Todd Boehly’s stewardship remains to be seen. He’ll earn £4.5 million throughout the year regardless.

8David Moyes (Everton)

£5 million

Having returned to Everton to replace Sean Dyche, who was sacked after a difficult start to the season, David Moyes has managed to breathe new life into the Goodison Park outfit. In fact, he helped them get back to winning ways in the concluding stages of 2024/25, taking them away from the red zone. This season has started just as well.

Now 62 years of age, the Scottish manager is determined to justify the £5 million contract he has signed with the Merseyside club for the next couple of years and that will inevitably involve keeping the club in the top flight of English football. He now has all the cards in his hand.

7Eddie Howe (Newcastle United)

£6 million

Since assuming the leadership role at Newcastle United, the Toon boss has been nothing short of remarkable. Under his guidance, the Magpies are becoming a force to be reckoned with, having achieved Champions League qualification twice thus far. Achieving such a significant milestone would’ve been a testament to Eddie Howe‘s managerial prowess but would’ve ensured an additional bonus to augment his already substantial £6 million annual salary.

Howe, known for his tactical acumen and player-management skills, has successfully transformed the Tyneside club. His approach, blending youth with experience and adopting a style of play that both excites fans and delivers results, has made Newcastle United a force to reckon with. Things have been a little sticky lately, but the Englishman deserves the chance to figure things out.

6Ruben Amorim (Manchester United)

£6.5 million

Replacing Erik ten Hag on the Manchester United bench, Ruben Amorim may not have realised the scale of the task awaiting him at Old Trafford when he left Sporting CP in his homeland. But there is no turning back now unless Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Co decide that he is no longer the man for the gargantuan job. At the Theatre of Dreams, the Portuguese – who began his career at Casa Pia – earns £6.5 million for his dues.

Now well settled in his new role at the Red Devils, the Portuguese coach has seen his start to the United adventure littered with obstacles. And while he has never made any secret of the fact, he is determined to overcome these difficulties and remind everyone that he really deserves his place at one of the greatest clubs in the history of football.

5Arne Slot (Liverpool)

£6.6 million

It’s no secret that Liverpool‘s Arne Slot has a massive job to do in the post-Jurgen Klopp era – but by the latter’s admission, there seemingly wasn’t a better man for the job. Formerly of Feyenoord, the 47-year-old has picked up where the German left off, and has already made his mark on the Reds, leading them to the club’s second Premier League title. And with their summer business, you’d bet your bottom dollar for him to make it two from two.

The Dutchman, whose appointment was announced a day after the 2023/24 Premier League campaign finished, earned himself a substantial pay rise by taking the job on the red half of Merseyside. Given his side finished his maiden season as the champions of England, he’s more than justified his lofty salary so far.

4Unai Emery (Aston Villa)

£8 million

Unai Emery has consistently showcased his prowess in club management. Following an eventful period in the Premier League with Arsenal, the Spaniard embarked on a journey back to the Spanish top-flight with Villarreal, a club known for its competitive spirit and impressive fanbase. His tenure was marked by numerous achievements, but one that stood out was his remarkable victory in the Europa League in 2021. This triumph not only reinstated his reputation as a top-tier manager but also played a pivotal role in elevating his market value.

This was evident when he secured an enticing deal with the Premier League side, Aston Villa. The English club offered him an impressive salary package of £4 million, along with potential bonuses amounting to £1 million. Having secured Champions League qualification for the Villans in 2024/25, he was rewarded with a new deal which lasts until 2029 and doubled his wages to £8 million.

3Thomas Frank (Tottenham Hotspur)

£8 million

Taking home a respectable £8 million per year in north London is Thomas Frank, who was appointed Tottenham Hotspur custodian in 2025, succeeding Ange Postecoglou. Having joined Brentford in 2018, he turned the Bees into a formidable side in the English top flight. The Danish tactician may be the manager that Spurs have craved for so many years: a serial winner with astute tactics.

Frank, 51 years of age, came through the managerial ranks in his homeland of Denmark before swapping Brondby for Brentford. Now, almost a decade on from his arrival, he’s one of the most exciting managers in world football – and that could only get better for Spurs fans now that Daniel Levy has left his position.

2Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)

£10 million

There was a mixed response when Mikel Arteta extended his deal with Arsenal until the end of the 2024/25 season. The £9 million agreement left several fans debating whether he was the man for the job. However, many of the skeptics will have now changed their minds following the Spaniard’s progressive run and the fact that they were – once again – there or thereabouts at the summit of the Premier League proves his worth as a top boss.

Finishing ten points off the pace in 2024/25 would’ve been a bitter pill to swallow for Arteta and his entourage, and finishing so far away from the eventual winners, Liverpool, would have been even tougher to deal with. His impressive work at the Emirates Stadium saw him rewarded with a new three-year deal in 2024, with him earning a base salary of £10 million which could rise to a bigger amount should he secure silverware at the helm.

1Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)

£20 million

Following Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool departure, Pep Guardiola became the longest-serving Premier League manager. Not only that, but he is at the top of the rich list by pocketing a whopping £20 million per year. And that, of course, doesn’t take into account any bonuses that he achieves across the season. In total, he typically earns another £5 million through performance-based intricacies.

Guardiola, often seen as the mastermind behind Manchester City’s dominance in the Premier League, has an illustrious track record that places him in the echelons of footballing greatness. Though he has only just usurped Klopp in terms of tenure in the Premier League, Guardiola’s impact, both in terms of tactics and silverware, is undeniable. Boasting six Premier League titles, he has brought a brand of football to the Etihad Stadium that is both aesthetically pleasing and ruthlessly efficient.
