Coaches' salaries in the Roshan Saudi League have seen a massive increase, making some of them among the highest-paid in the world during 2025. These unprecedented financial leaps reflect the significant investment in Saudi football.

Italian Stefano Pioli, the head coach of Al Nassr, leads the list of the highest earners in the Roshan League, earning £15.5 million annually, equivalent to £298,000 weekly. This hefty salary places him fourth globally among the highest-paid coaches for 2025, according to GiveMeSport.

Pioli wasn't the only one to secure a hefty contract, as behind him was Al Ahli's coach, German Matthias Jaissle, with an annual salary of £9.6 million (£185,000 weekly). Meanwhile, Portuguese Jorge Jesus, the head coach of Al Hilal, receives £8.6 million annually (£165,000 weekly).

In fourth place is French Laurent Blanc, the head coach of Al Ittihad, with an annual contract worth £8.3 million (£160,000 weekly). These enormous salaries reflect the ambitious investment direction of Saudi clubs, which aim to attract the best coaches globally.

The huge rise in coaches' wages confirms that the Roshan League has become an attractive environment for top coaches, enhancing its status as one of the strongest leagues in the world. These massive contracts could shift the balance of power in football and make the competition even more exciting.
