Didier Deschamps tops annual list of highest-paid coaches

In 2021 it looked like the coach’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (April 18) that Deschamps is the highest-paid coach in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and March 2024, a nearly $50 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The French coach-footballer has an estimated net worth of $245 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Deschamps Burger” chain) in Paris, a Football Team (the “Bayonne Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderdeschamps - France), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Didier) and a fashion line called “Didier Deschamps Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Didier fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
