Kompany as a coach earns a 1/3 than as a player

OTHER "From a well-paid player he becomes a well-paid coach," CEO Karel Van Eetvel said of Vincent Kompany. But, what can we understand by 'well paid'? Het Nieuwsblad analyzes Kompany's salaries. Conclusion: he now earn a net third of what he was earned as a player.

In general, it is known that football players (and other professional athletes, this is forgotten for convenience) in our contry enjoy very favorable tax and social security rates. Coaches can't benefit from that.

Le Soir revealed las year that Kompany as player earned gross six million a year at Anderlecht. He was left with a net amount of 2.781.372 euros. Anderlecht recovered 2.568.000 euros from the tax autorities through favorable tax regimes. The salary costs paid by Anderlecht to the player Kompany amounted to 3.436.644 euros per year.

As a couch, we talk about completely different figures. Anderlecht costs almost the same (3.125.000 euros) to allow the coach Kompany to keep a net third of his player salary (994.811 euros). The big difference, therefore, is in the tax and social security contributions that must now be paid.
