It has finally ben revealed that Antonio Conte is on the brink of becoming Tottenham Hotspur manager and a part of the deal to bring the Italian to north London is the promise that
he will have a whopping £150m to spend on the next transfers week as agreed by the football club board
Although the former Chelsea, Inter Milan and Juventus manager is due to be announced as the new Tottenham boss imminently, replacing Nuno Espirito Santo who was sacked on Monday based on his poor performance by the club.
It is believed that it is a coup for Spurs, bringing in a manager who has won the Premier League and Serie A, and someone they wanted to appoint in the summer but failed to do so as a result of disagreement among parties.
Based on investigation it was believed that the club was going to have to offer the 52-year-old an attractive package as he turned them down in pre-season for a lack of ambition for the football member.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has rustled up that package, report The Sun, offering Conte a deal worth around £15m and a hefty transfer budget of £150m.
Failure to hire Conte in the summer and instead settling for back-up option Nuno has proved an extremely expensive exercise for Levy, who has reportedly had to pay the Portuguese £5m for sacking him after just 124 games in charge.
According to Tottenham’s managing director of football, Fabio Paratici who has worked with Conte at Juventus and held talks with his compatriot on Monday over the move.
With all in place and with the believe that Conte is not known for his longevity at any club he has been in charge of, with three years at Juventus his longest stint anywhere as a manager.
That pattern looks likely to continue as he is only due to sign an 18-month contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a deal worth around £290,000-a-week.
