Chinese clubs willing to make Benitez highest paid manager in history

Published on: 26 February 2017

Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez is a target for Chinese Super League clubs.

The Sunday Mirror says CSL clubs are ready to make former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss Benitez the highest-paid manager in the world.

Two sides are willing to offer the Spaniard a staggering ­£30million-plus-a-year deal if he leaves Newcastle in the summer.

The £600,000-a-week salary would far eclipse the £11m a year that ex-Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas is on with Shanghai SIPG and the £4m a year that ex-England manager Sven Goran Eriksson is paid by Shenzhen.

It would also put the Toon boss on a par with Carlos Tevez, who earns £632,000 a week.
