More than Guardiola and Ancelotti, the coach who will earn $200 million a season

For decades, the epicenter of world soccer was Europe, mainly because of the Champions League, which is the most important club competition in the globe. That is why the world's top players have always chosen to play for teams from that continent.

However, this trend seems to be changing since the emergence in the world of soccer of a league that has no limits when it comes to offering huge amounts of money to tempt players. It is the Saudi Arabian Pro League, which shocked everyone in December 2022 when announced that Cristiano Ronaldo was going to sign with Al-Nassr.

This summer has seen the addition of many other star who, like the Portuguese, choose to play in Saudi Arabia rather than in Europe. Karim Benzema decided to leave Real Madrid to sign a contract with Al-Ittihad, N'Golo Kanté also went to the same club, while Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves were signed by Al-Hilal.

Moreover, they are not only after players. In the last few hours, it became known that Al-Qadisiyah of the second division hired Robbie Fowler to be the team's coach for next season. However, the figure the club will pay the Englishman is what shocked everyone: his contract will be $200 million per season, an impressive figure that exceeds the salaries of Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola and Xavi Hernandez.

Fowler's background

The former England striker was a star for Liverpool during the 1990s and 2000s. He made 369 appearances for the Reds and scored 183 goals. He also played for Leeds United and Manchester City. As a coach he was signed by Muangthong United, Brisbane Roar and East Bengal.
