| I don't know if you were only talking about professional soccer, but over the 9 years I was doing youth premier club soccer, some of those coaches make pretty good money. If you can get a coaching job at an elite youth club, you can make $10,000 to $15,000 per team (with many coaches having 2-3 teams).
My coach (who was like 27) coached two teams and then had a part time job at some company that he would work at for a few days a week. So all told, he probably made $50,000 a year. Not bad if it's something you really love. |
