Ajax's Manager Hunt: Míchel's Salary a Major Hurdle
4 Apr
Summary
- Míchel's salary at Girona is between €3-4 million annually.
- Ajax's highest-paid manager earned €3 million previously.
- Míchel's potential move could increase costs with his assistant.
The pursuit of Míchel as the new manager for Ajax presents a considerable financial challenge for the Amsterdam club. Reports indicate that the current Girona manager commands a salary between three and four million euros per year, a figure that surpasses the €3 million earned by Erik ten Hag, the highest-paid manager in Ajax's history.
While Míchel's contract with Girona is nearing its end, his willingness to accept a pay cut for a role in Amsterdam remains uncertain. His high earnings are understandable given Girona's affiliation with the City Football Group and their recent qualification for the Champions League in the 2024/25 season.
Furthermore, Ajax's potential costs could escalate as Míchel often brings his assistant, Salva Fúne, along with him. This financial consideration adds another layer of complexity to negotiations, with the club's willingness to allocate such a sum for a manager yet to be determined.
