Marcelo Bielsa was reported to earn about €3 million a year , which is roughly US$3.4 million annually while coaching Uruguay for the 2026 World Cup.

What that means

  • That figure would put him among the better-paid national team coaches at the tournament.
  • Another 2025 report had his Uruguay salary at about US$4 million per year , so the exact number depends on the source and conversion used.

Simple takeaway

If you mean his World Cup coaching pay with Uruguay , the best public estimate is around US$3.4 million per year.

The annual figure is the cleanest way to think about it, since public reporting does not show a separate “per World Cup” bonus amount in the sources I found.
