Inter manager Antonio Conte is the highest earning manager in Serie A history according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport.

Conte, who assumed the position earlier this Summer after a year away from football having left Chelsea, pockets €11 million net a season from Inter.

He has overtaken former Inter manager Jose Mourinho who was on €9 million net during his spell with the club and earns €3.5 million more than Max Allegri, who was the highest earning coach in Serie A last season, did at Juventus.

When it comes to the current managers in Serie A, Conte is well ahead. Allegri’s successor at Juventus Maurizio Sarri earns the second most with €5.5 million, Napoli’s Carlo Ancelotti is third earning €5 million, Roma’s Paolo Fonseca fourth with €3 million and AC Milan’s Marco Giampaolo fifth with €2 million.

The report goes on to state that Conte is also the fifth highest earning coach in European football but is some way off top spot, which is occupied by Atletico Madrid’s Diego Simeone, who earns €23 million annually.
