Gareth Southgate has agreed to take a 30% pay cut as the Football Association announced it was braced for losses of more than £150m owing to the coronavirus shutdown.
Southgate is comfortably the FA’s best-paid employee, earning around £3m a year, and the England manager has voluntarily made the sacrifice, initially for the next three months.
The FA’s other high earners have signed up to deductions, with the chief executive, Mark Bullingham, and the chairman, Greg Clarke, giving up significant percentages of their salaries. Senior managers across the organisation in areas such as legal, human resources, finance, communications and IT have agreed 15% cuts – again for an initial three months – and there is to be a furloughing programme of other staff members.
