Chelsea manager Graham Potter is the fourth best-paid manager in the world – and even earns more than his predecessor Thomas Tuchel, who now manages Bayern Munich.
L'Equipe revealed the list of the world's top managerial earners on Thursday, with a trio of Premier League bosses predictably taking up three of the four top spots.
The French newspaper have claimed that Potter earns a whopping £993,117 per month (£229,180 a week) with the Blues, while Tuchel collects £878,965 every month (£202,815 a week) at the Allianz Arena.
Potter has endured a tough start to life at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues currently languishing in 10th place, and are 11 points adrift of Tottenham in fourth who have played a game more.
Potter was able to book Chelsea's spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League earlier this month, but has been given reigning European champions Real Madrid over two legs.
