Even as Premier League clubs are facing pressure over their reluctance to compromise with their high wages in the times of the coronavirus crisis, England manager Gareth Southgate has taken a 30 per cent pay cut. Southgate is one of the Football Association’s highest earners that have collectively agreed to the cut. Neville, head coach of the England women’s team, is understood to be among those who will have a 15 per cent cut. The move comes after a week when Premier League players came under increasing political pressure to take a pay cut. After that call, the PFA said Premier League players are prepared to make “significant financial contributions”.
