Inter Milan 'pay' Conte €2M for choosing Tottenham as next club

New Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is set for a tidy bonus from Inter Milan for choosing the Londoners as his next club.

Corriere della Sera says Conte will receive an extra €2million (£1.7m) from Inter Milan in severance pay, on top of the £13m he will be getting in his new Tottenham contract.

Had Conte either moved to another Serie A club before December 31, or stayed unemployed until that period, the Italian would have missed out on this bonus.

Conte was announced as Spurs' new boss on Tuesday, just four months after he rejected the chance to join the north Londoners in the summer, with Tottenham opting for Nuno Espirito Santo instead, who was sacked earlier this week.

He has signed a deal until the summer of 2023, with the option to renew.
