Not even Benni McCarthy or Steve Komphela make the list of the top 5 highest paid coaches in the PSL, so let us see who does…

5) RHULANI MOKWENA: SALARY – R650 000

The Sundowns co-coach earns slightly less than his other coach, Manqoba Mngqithi. Mokwena makes it as the 5th highest-paid coach in the PSL.

His R650 000 salary matches his success in the game with Mokwena leading Sundowns to yet another title in the DStv Premiership.

Championship winning coach will certainly be right up there but just how much do the coaches above him on the list make?

3) JOSEF ZINNBAUER: SALARY – R650 000

The manager of Orlando Pirates has kept his position at the club at takes home a cool R650 000 in the process. He will have to have a massive campaign.

If he is to show that he is worth all this money and belief after a frustrating recent campaign with the buccaneers.

Zinnbauer will have to answer to all his critics and to start showing that he is worth every investment the club has placed on him.

2) MANQOBA MNGQITHI: SALARY- R750 000

Sundowns other joint coach brings home R750 000 on his current salary, he is earning very good money even though he co-coaches with Rhulani Mokwena.

I am not sure how they differentiated between those salaries but both coaches will be very happy with the pay slips they take home.
