Antonio Conte is due to receive a £4million pay off if, as expected, his Tottenham exit is finalised this week.
The Italian is set to be relieved of his duties following his extraordinary rant on Saturday after the draw with Southampton. Conte labelled his players as "selfish" and attacked the club and their owner, who have presided over an era that has yielded little success.
Conte's rant could now cost him with his contract due to expire in the summer. He is on a £15m-a-year deal in north London and his early exit is set to see him pocket £4m - for the final three months of his deal - whilst his staff will also have to be paid off. Spurs chiefs have spent the last few days drawing up an exit strategy with Ryan Mason potentially set to take charge for the remainder of the season.
