Snl24 | Carteron’s price tag to Sundowns

Rumours have linked Patrice Carteron as a candidate for the Mamelodi Sundowns job with Rulani Mokwena set to exit.

The
rumours linking Patrice Carteron as the next coach of Mamelodi Sundowns will
mean the league champions have to iron out the biggest contract ever for a
coach at the club.

Mokwena
is now reportedly expected to get out of the highly fancied Sundowns following
a complicated working relationship with the club’s sporting director Flemming
Berg.

As
is the norm, wildfire speculation has had Carteron top of the list of those
linked with the job.

The
cost of bringing Carteron will stretch the finances of Sundowns to levels never
reached before even when Pitso Mosimane was at Chloorkop.

Mosimane
was on R1,5 million per month in his last contract, which he abandoned in
favour of a move to Al Ahly four years ago.

Not
even Nasreddine Nabi’s salary of 40 000 Euros (approx. R796 000) at
Kaizer Chiefs will come anywhere close to what the 53-year-old will ask for.

This
website has been told that Carteron earns USD1,4 million (approx. R26 million)
per annum at Umm Salal SC in Qatar.

This
is almost thrice what Nabi will earn at Chiefs.

Getting
Carteron out of his contract in the Qatar Stars League will also come at a cost after completing his first season in charge with a seventh-place finish.

To take the Sundowns job it will mean the DStv Premiership champions improve his earnings.

Through
the last decade, Carteron has had jobs at TP Mazembe (DR Congo), Wadi Degla
(Egypt), Al-Nassr (Saudi Arabia), Phoenix Rising (USA), Al Ahly (Egypt), Raja
Casablanca (Morocco), Zamalek (Egypt), Al-Taawoun (Saudi Arabia), Zamalek
again, Al-Ettifaq (Saudi Arabia), and his latest at Umm Salal.

Carteron
has been linked with South African clubs before after indicating his desire to
work in the DStv Premiership.
