Otto Addo among lowest paid coaches heading to the World Cup in Qatar 

Black Stars trainer Otto Addo has been ranked amongst the lowest earning coaches heading to the World Cup in Qatar according to findings by Finance Football.

Otto Addo is been paid £351,994 as his annual salary which sees him rank 28th but is ahead of three other African coaches; Rigobert Song of Cameroon, Senegal’s Aliou Cissé and Tunisia’s Jalel Kadri.

Addo was appointed in February this year following the exit of Milovan Rajevac after a shambolic showing at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon where amassed just one point in three group games. 

The former Dortmund player subsequently guided the Black Stars to secure their qualification for the World Cup in March after overcoming rivals Nigeria in the playoff.

Germany’s head coach Hansi Flick tops the list as the highest coach per year, followed by England boss Gareth Southgate, France’s Didier Deschamps and Brazil coach Tite in that order. 

The World Cup begins this Subday with Qatar taking on Ecuador in the opening game.
