According to The Times, interim England manager Gareth Southgate will earn a handsome £500k during his two month reign in English footballs top job.
The former Middlesbrough player will receive a huge pay rise as the FA upgrade his current pay packet to one more suitable for the England manager. He currently earns £500k-a-year as the U21 manager, but is set to earn that in just 60 days as England’s no.1 man. That’s approximately £8,300 per day.
Southgate has been insured that he is in the frame for the job on a permanent basis by the FA’s Chief Executive Martin Glenn, and has been told that the search for a new manager will not begin until his four matches are up.
Southgate will take charge of the England side for four vital matches against Malta, Slovenia, Scotland and Spain over the next couple of months.
