[quote=Anonymous]I helped a coach negotiate their contract last year as a favor. This was MLS Next. Some clubs have full time coaches. Those make around 45-60,000. Otherwise these coaches get paid per team and they don’t get paid double if they coach 2 times. They also do not get any benefits (no health insurance, etc). The average I found when helping this coach research was between 17,500-22,000 for the entire season (which can be 10 months) for one team and maybe 10,000 more if they coach a second.

It was terrible IMO. This was MLS Next Level (so we looked at Bethesda, Achilles, SYC, ASA, and other peer nonMLS Next teams like Arlington). This wasn’t easy information to obtain, we had to ask around and trust what we were told. The amount of work for MLS Next teams does not even compare to what they’re being paid. Parents are expecting scouting of teams, reviewing of film, off season trainings, etc. If you divided the number of hours by the salary it is shameful IMO.

Yes, I’m looking at you in particular ASA.

People should be paid a fair and livable wage. These coaches are not in it for the money. [/quote]
