Italy's Conte second highest paid coach at Euro 2016

Italy's Antonio Conte is the second highest paid chief coach at the Euro 2016 football championship, just behind Roy Hodgson of England.

Conte will end his two-year association with Italy after the Euro and will take up a lucrative offer at English giants Chelsea.

The former Juventus coach pockets 4.1 million euros ($4.6 million) per year behind Hodgson's 5 million euros ($5.6 million), reported football-italia.net on Saturday.

Fatih Terim of Turkey earns 3.5 million euros ($3.9 million), while Germany's World Cup winning Joachim Löw bags 3.2 million euros ($3.6 million). Vicente del Bosque of Spain collects 3 million euros ($3.4 million).

 

Host nation France pay Didier Deschamps just over 2 million euros ($2.2 million) per year.

At the bottom is Anghel Iordanescu of Romania who earns just 120,000 euros ($136,392) per year.

But one of the most intriguing situations is for Leonid Slutsky of Russia whose wages depend on the team's performance.
