Sacked Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is due a bumper payoff after today's dismissal.
The Daily Mail says the German was one of the Premier League's top earners, on a salary in the region of £13m a year.
And with his backroom staff set to follow him out of the door, the total cost to Chelsea's new American owners is likely to be closer to the £15m mark.
Tuchel is set to receive a pay-out of £13m and his backroom staff will receive £2m amongst them.
Tuchel leaves having guided Chelsea to UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup glory.
