Lebo Mothiba’s manager at Strasbourg Patrick Vieira is said to be the third highest-paid coach in France, with his reported salary having been revealed.
A report by L’Equipe has now revealed that Vieira earns more than every player in his squad.
It is widely known that, in terms of finances, there is a huge gulf between Paris Saint-Germain and the rest of the teams in Ligue 1.
As such, it should come as no surprise that PSG boss Luis Enrique is said to be the best-paid manager in the league with a monthly salary of €923 500 (R18.9 million).

AS Monaco’s Adi Hutter is reportedly in second place, while Vieira sits third with a monthly income of €220 000 (R4.5 million).
The French outlet indicates that no Strasbourg player takes home more than he does, with the club’s best-paid star, Abakar Sylla, pocketing €145 000 (R2.9 million) per month.
Meanwhile, the injured Mothiba is believed to be earning an estimated €16 154 (R331,935) per week at the club, according to Capology.
Speaking earlier this season following the appointment of Vieira, Mothiba revealed that the Arsenal and France legend told him to stay this term.
"We spoke, some of the strikers were leaving and the club was recruiting new young players. He told me that because I have been at the club for a number of years and I know the league, he wanted me to stay," Mothiba earlier this season, according to TimesLive.
"He promised to give me confidence and game time because he believed in me and the qualities that I have like keeping the ball and making those runs behind the defence.
"He said that’s what he needed from me, from there we did preseason and he gave me that chance. He showed me some love."
