When Tottenham Hotspur decided to appoint Antonio Conte to the managerial position back in November, the Italian tactician was tasked with steering the squad back in the right direction. Spurs were heading off the rails under Nuno Espírito Santo, leading to his sacking.
Conte now has the north London one point away from clinching Champions League football for next season, and according to The Times (via Marca), the Italian tactician is in line for a £2.5-million bonus if his side secures fourth place.
The 52-year-old has picked up 53 points out of a possible 81, and Tottenham leapfrogged arch-rivals Arsenal into the fourth spot with their victory over Burnley last Sunday.
Although Conte won’t be upset with this bonus hitting his bank account, the Spurs manager wants to see the club invest to grab top talent that can compete for trophies. The manager has clarified to Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy that he wants at least six signings in the summer transfer window.
Lord help us….
Conte is his own man , it will only be top level , experienced signings if he buys . Lets get the goals that matter on Sunday , then dream on about the marquees to arrive this summer ………….IT WILL HAPPEN……………
That’s a huge bonus. We only get around 15 million if we get to the group stages.. Plus the players will also get bonuses. .. If a team wins all their group games and then goes on to lift the trophy then they get around 69 million.. Though it takes away money from the kitty, I don’t mind big bonuses, more incentive to win.
Let’s hope Levy doesn’t balls this up and decide to cut back on spending once 4th place is confirmed. I could see it happening and Levy bringing back Poch.
