How much does Pep Guardiola earn? How much does Pep Guardiola earn?

One of the most titled and famous coaches in the world, champion of three countries, multiple Champions League winner, author of "tiki-taka". When we say that, we mean the legendary Josep, or as he is commonly known, Pep Guardiola. But the Spaniard is not only known for his achievements in football, but also for the way these achievements are paid for.

Earnings coach can envy even some of the players of the top championships. According to a study by L'Équipe magazine, in the English Premier League Guardiola is the highest paid coach with a contract of approximately 22.5 million euros a year.

In England, the Spaniard has comfortably surpassed his Liverpool rival Jürgen Klopp, who earns slightly less than 18 million euros a year at the Merseysiders. However, Pep is not the leader in Europe. He is overtaken by Atlético Madrid colleague and former La Liga rival Diego Simeone, who costs Los Colchoneros around 34 million euros a year.

Guardiola's income has grown from club to club. Thus, during his first independent work in Barcelona he received 11.2 million dollars a year, and when he was in Bayern he was the highest paid coach in the world with an annual salary of approximately 20 million dollars a year. The total capital of the Spanish specialist as of October 2023 celebritynetworth portal estimates 60 million dollars.

But the bonuses for the won treble at the end of the season 2023/2024 in the amount of 750 thousand pounds, he gave the employees of the club base and other little-noticed personalities of the club, which thus the Spaniard decided to thank for their contribution to the common cause.

In general, Guardiola is known for his image as a philanthropist. In particular, he has donated €1 million to purchase medical supplies to fight the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, as well as promoting the work of Fundacion Luzon, which seeks to improve the treatment of people suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The Catalan was also involved in promoting Man City's City in the Community project, and the grey cashmere Herno hoodie he wore during the 2018-19 season fetched £6,000 at auction.

Guardiola is not as rich in advertising deals as other coaches such as Mourinho or Jürgen Klopp, but he does have a few partnerships.

Most notably, the Catalan signed a personal deal with sportswear brand Puma in July 2019 at the same time as they became Man City's new uniform manufacturers. When the Puma deal was announced, Guardiola didn't fail to mention that his mentor Johan Cruyff was also their sponsor.

During his time as Bayern's head coach, Guardiola struck a deal with Gore-Tex, an outdoor clothing company. He previously worked as an ambassador for Qatar's bid to host the 2022 World Cup and struck a deal with car manufacturer Nissan.

In May 2022, Pep became the face of an advertising campaign for brokerage firm CFI Financial Group, whose logo is on the shirts of Premier League club Sheffield United this season.

While it can hardly be said that Guardiola is without lucrative contracts, the relative lack of such partnerships is perhaps in keeping with his outwardly austere personality, which, given his popularity and titles won, will bring the big-name coach even greater riches.
