Antonio Conte is one of the most sought-after coaches in football: here are the salary and net worth of the former Juventus, Inter, and Italy national team coach.
What is Antonio Conte’s net worth? This is always a very topical question given that we are talking about one of the most esteemed coaches on the international football scene, recently training the team of Napoli.
Conte has not coached for almost a year given the early end of his adventure with Tottenham, unable to repeat the successes obtained across the Channel with Chelsea when he won a Premier League.
Tottenham can be said to have been the only coaching flop in Conte’s career so far, given the Serie As won with Juventus and with Inter in addition to the good experience as coach of Italy: at the 2016 European Championships, after eliminating Spain, the Azzurri only surrendered to Germany on penalties.
So let’s look at the career of Antonio Conte, also taking a look at the net worth and the salaries received. Conte also recently returned under the spotlight because of some ill-advised investments.
Antonio Conte’s career
As a player Antonio Conte was a very combative midfielder who, after his debut with the shirt of Lecce his hometown team, built his career entirely in Juventus, where in 13 years he won practically everything: 5 league titles, 1 Champions League and 1 UEFA Cup.
As a coach he then cut his teeth in Tuscany, Siena and Arezzo, then managing to bring Bari back to Serie A before landing, without much luck, on the bench of Atalanta before returning to Siena.
When Juventus called him in the summer of 2011, Conte immediately managed to bring the Serie A prize back to Turin, winning three in a row.
Despite his involvement in the football bettings scandal, Antonio Conte was called to lead the National team for the 2016 European championship, with Italy going out in the quarter-finals against Germany after the unfortunate penalty shoot-out sequence.
In July 2016 he then moved to Chelsea with immediate victory in the Premier League. The following season, however, was not as fortunate for the Lecce coach, with his dismissal arriving during the summer.
After a welter of rumors that followed one another for months, in June 2019 Inter dismissed Luciano Spalletti and hired Antonio Conte. A relationship with the Milan team that lasted two years and was enhanced by yet another Serie A victory.
However, it would not last: on November 2nd, 2021 he was announced as the new manager of Tottenham, thus taking the place of the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo. The adventure with the Spurs, however, lasted until February 2023 when a termination of the contract occurred between the club and the coach.
In the past years, Conte was also the victim of a scam in London, with an investment company owing him a sum of €30.6 million (32.4 million USD).
Salary and net worth
In his coaching career, Antonio Conte was able to win both in Italy and in England, managing overtime to win ever larger contracts until he entered the Olympus of the highest paid coaches.
When the Salento coach parted ways with Juventus he received a salary of €3 million (3.2 million USD) per season. In his transition to the helm of the National team, his annual salary rose to €4.6 million (4.9 million USD), however partly paid by the sponsors.
At Chelsea, his first contract included a salary of 7.7 million (8.2 million USD). After his first success in the Premier League, the Londoners extended his contract until 2021, increasing his salary to 10.8 million (11.5 million USD) per season. After the dismissal, there was a dispute between the Blues and the manager regarding the severance pay.
The agreement signed with Inter is based on a three-year contract with a salary that will be €10 million net plus 2 million bonus (10.6 + 2.1 million USD) in the first year. In the second and third years, however, it rose to €12 million net plus bonus (12.7 million USD).
A decree by the Italian government requiring anyone who hires a worker who has been abroad in the last two years to pay 30% taxes instead of 43%, it was thought that the costs could be softened.
According to the Italian Gazzetta dello Sport, however, Inter was unable to benefit from this legislation, therefore the net salary of Conte and his staff amounted to €13.5 million (14.3 million USD) per season.
The farewell to Inter agreed a year in advance should guarantee the coach a €7.5 million (8 million USD) severance package, with the club having inserted a clause that would prevent the coach from coaching in Italy next season.
Overall, Antonio Conte’s net worth was calculated at a whopping €70 million (74 million USD).
In the end, Antonio Conte decided to return to the Premier League, signing a contract with Tottenham until 2023 with the option for an extension. However, the salary figures are still not well known: across the Channel, there has been talk of an agreement worth 15 million pounds (18.2 million USD) gross per season, but according to the Daily Telegraph the figure would have been 20 million pounds (24.3 million USD) per year.
