The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Departing Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has received an enormous contract offer from China that would make him the highest paid manager in the world, according to reports.
The Frenchman announced his decision to leave the Emirates at the end of the season after a 22-year reign last week, and there had been suggestions that he would move behind-thescenes into a director of football role at PSG.
The unnamed Super League club has told Wenger that they will pay him more than the £24m-a-year deal Marcello Lippi currently takes home.
Lippi, who is manager of the Chinese national team, is the highest-paid coach in the world, with the Premier League’s highest earner, Pep Guardiola, some way behind on £16m.
Wenger earns £8m a year at Arsenal. He is believed to be weighing up the Chinese offer but would rather hold out and wait for an approach from a club in France or Spain.
