Antonio Conte is close to agreeing a new contract at Chelsea
after positive talks, Sky in Italy reports.
Conte has two years left on his current deal, but the
Premier League winenrs are keen to reward him with fresh terms, after an
impressive first year in England.
The new deal will see the Italian earn between £9.5m and
£10m a year, making him the best-paid manager in the club’s history.
Chelsea declined to comment when contacted by Sky Sports
News HQ.
Conte was widely reported to be frustrated with the Chelsea
hierarchy, over a lack of investment in the transfer market. But it is believed
that those issues have been ironed out.
His wife and daughter will also move to London to live with
him.
