As pressure mounts on Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte, we’re taking a look at how much it would cost Spurs to sack him. The Italian has come under fire after an explosive rant following his side’s 3-3 draw with Southampton at the weekend.
Spurs were 3-1 up on the South Coast on Saturday afternoon but ended up taking just one point back to the capital, after a remarkable comeback from their opposition.
Conte was left furious after his side gave up a two goal lead, one of which came after conceding a late penalty that James Ward-Prowse converted for the Premier League’s rock bottom club.
Losing these two points also saw their odds for a ‘top four’ finish drift out to 23/10 as we head into the international break. Next up for Spurs is an away trip to Everton on Monday 3rd April.
Ever dependable 👊

During a tense press conference, Conte said: “The club has the responsibility for the transfer market, every coach that stayed here has the responsibility. And the players? The players? Where are the players?
“Twenty years there is the owner and they never won something but why? The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here?
“You are finding an alibi, another alibi. You try to find an excuse for the players. OK, continue to do this, to find an excuse for the players. You do only this! You do only this.
“Excuses for the players. ‘But the players, maybe, my future, then we lost confidence, they lost spirit, they lost being a team’. Excuses. Excuses. Try to protect them every time.”
His rant didn’t stop there…
Antonio Conte was absolutely furious: “I don’t want to hide it anymore — here is always the same”. 🚨⚪️ #THFC

How Much Would It Cost To Sack Antonio Conte?
Conte is out of contract this summer, but with 10 games to go in the Premier League season, and after his rant at the weekend he may not even make the end of the season.
Conte is said to earn £15 million-a-year at Spurs, and with not much time remaining on his contract Spurs could sack him for between £4m and £5m according to their Athletic reporter.
I think the compensation due to Conte would be the outstanding salary on his contract, so in this case probably between £4m and £5m. So not a huge amount.
