Zinedine Zidane led the first training session at Real Madrid on Wednesday afternoon. The Frenchman is preparing the team for the La Liga match against Celta Vigo on Saturday.
The miracle worker at Real, who won three UEFA Champions League titles in 2.5 years, returns to Madrid after nine months. Zidane handed over the reins of the team to Julen Lopetegui in the summer, but neither him nor Santiago Solari managed to successfully navigate the straight path to victory.
Zidane committed to staying at the club until the summer of 2022 after his return. The Frenchman's brief career break helped him not only in terms of time but also in financial gain.
Before last season, Zidane earned 7.5 million euros per year, but now his salary will increase almost twofold to 12 million euros.
Nevertheless, even with such a salary, the strategist cannot match his opponent from the same city - Diego Simeone earns a staggering 24 million euros at Atletico.
According to the same reports, Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham earns 10 million euros, Jurgen Klopp earns 8.5 million euros, and Massimiliano Allegri earns 8 million euros per year.
