The total value of the new contract is around 1.5 million euros. Of this amount, 1 million euros will go to coach Sylvinho and 500,000 euros will be divided between Dorival and Zabaleta.
As in the previous contract, the staff will receive a substantial bonus if the objective of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup is achieved.
