“” discovered how much the Canadian Bob Hartley can enter “Avant-garde” if he agrees to lead the club next season.
On Tuesday, reported that Hartley, 62, could return to Avangard Omsk, where he worked from 2018 to 2022, and won the Gagarin Cup in 2021.
According to our information, the Canadian asked to repeat the money he had earlier at Avangard. Before leaving the KHL, Bob was paid $1.7 million per season, then it was increased to $1.9 million per season.
Hartley’s new contract with Avangard could be tied to a fixed dollar rate of, say, 75 rubles. In this case, the Canadian next season will earn 142.5 million rubles. But at the same time, Hartley will have to pay 13% tax on this amount as a foreigner who became a tax resident of the Russian Federation (he worked in Russia for a year for more than 183 days). In this case, Bob Hartley’s net salary for the new season will be 124 million rubles. If Hartley stays in Russia for less than 183 days, the tax will be 30%.
Hartley himself told on Tuesday that he has yet to make a final decision on whether to return to Avangard. He has a big business in Canada, his family lives there. Obviously, Hartley would not have agreed to come to Russia for less money. It also depends on the return to the club of his assistant, the 63-year-old Canadian coach Jacques Cloutier, who previously took care of the minority and the work of defenders at Avangard.
