Niko Kovac is due to start work as Borussia Dortmund head coach on Sunday after signing a contract until 2026.
According to Bild, the Croatian coach will receive an annual salary of €3.5 million - a million more than his predecessor Nuri Sahin, who was paid €2.5 million a year.
The report claims that Kovac could see his earnings rise even further thanks to a clause written into his contract.
If he leads Dortmund from their current eleventh place in the Bundesliga to Champions League qualification, he will apparently receive an extra €750,000.
Caretaker coach Mike Tullberg will lead the team into his final game in charge against Heidenheim on Saturday before Kovac takes over.
