That Diego Simeone is one of the most weighted coaches in Europe and the world is nothing new. The magnificent work that Cholo has been doing years ago at Atlético Madrid led the Spanish team to be in the foreground of the Old Continent. In fact, he just stamped his ticket to the Champions League quarterfinals after eliminating Manchester United at Old Trafford (they will now be seen with Manchester City). The merits of the Argentine DT translate to the economic: he remains the best paid technician in the world.

As revealed by the French media L'equipe, Simeone leads the ranking of coaches' salaries worldwide. Catalan Josep Guardiola (Manchester City) and German Jürgen Klopp (Liverpool) are also on the podium. What is the monthly figure that Cholo pays for his tasks at Atlético? A total of 3,300,000 euros (about 3,640,000 dollars). For his part, Pep gets 1.89 million euros, while Klopp receives 1.49 million euros per month, as does the Italian Antonio Conte (Tottenham).

In mid-2021, the emblem of the Argentine national team renewed its link with the Colchonero until mid-2024. It is worth mentioning that the coach who earns almost 40 million euros per year is the one who has been leading the same team for the most consecutive seasons in La Liga and is the most successful coach in the club's history with eight titles. In addition, he is the one who has won the most victories in the Madrid institution. At his side are his assistants Nelson Vivas and Hernán Bonvicini, his physical trainer Oscar Ortega and archers coach Pablo Vercellone.

Apart from the local titles in Argentina with Estudiantes de La Plata and River Plate, Simeone has won 8 titles with Atlético Madrid (4 local and 4 international). He won two Spanish leagues, one Copa del Rey, one Spanish Super Cup, two Europa League and two European Super Cups. His great desire is to win the Champions League, an event that he was denied in 2014 and 2016 against Real Madrid.

Other important names appear on the list of top payers such as those of Italian Massimiliano Allegri (Juventus), Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino (Paris Saint Germain), Italian Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid), Portuguese José Mourinho (Rome) and German Julian Naggelsmann (Bayern Munich).
