Looking at the list, Gerardo Seoane appears to have secured a strong deal, as Borussia Mönchengladbach did not participate in European competitions last season and are not scheduled to in the upcoming one, unlike most others in the top earnings bracket. Newly appointed RB Leipzig coach Ole Werner reportedly earns €2.5 million. Meanwhile, Sandro Wagner and VfL Wolfsburg`s new coach Paul Simonis are positioned in the mid-range for salaries. Lukas Kwasniok`s earnings place him just above Horst Steffen. Among the coaches stepping into new roles this season, Erik ten Hag at Bayer 04 Leverkusen is the highest earner, securing the second spot overall, just behind Vincent Kompany.
