When it comes to accomplished nations in the World Cup finals, Mexico lags far behind other nations who have hoisted the silverware and have won a World Cup prior.

But when it comes to managerial salaries, Mexico is in rarified air.

According to Argentine publication Ole, Mexico manager is the third-highest paid manager among World Cup nations, second only to England's Fabio Capello and Italy's Marcelo Lippi. Aguirre reportedly rakes in $USD 4 million annually.

The World Cup manager with the lowest salary is Nigeria's Shaibu Amodu, who pulls in $180,000.

Mexico's Aguirre makes 10 times a year as much as his American counterpart, as Bob Bradley's salary is $400,000 per year.

Aguirre also makes more than the combined salaries of his fellow Group A managers: South Africa's Carlos Alberto Parreira ($1.8 million), France's Raymond Domenech ($720,000) and Uruguay's Oscar Washington Tabarez ($300,000).

All figures are in American dollars.
