- Premier League giants Chelsea are poised to pay former boss Conte £11m after terminating his contract
The Italian born tactician will only be paid if he remains jobless until the summer of 2019
- He won the Premier League and the FA Cup titles for the Blues in his two year stay at the Stamford Bridge
Former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has reportedly decided to wait until the summer of 2019 in order to get his £11 million due to him.
The Italian tactician was forced out of the club this summer with just one more season on his contract with the Blues.
Former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri took his seat at the Stamford Bridge and his arrival has brought a lot of positives to the club.

The Mirror reveals that the former Juventus boss will intends to remain jobless until June next year when his deal with Chelsea expires.
His decision is however unfavourable to the Blues who will have no choice but to pay him the amount owed on the outstanding year of his contract.
Conte won Premier League and FA Cup titles during his two year reign during his two year reign at the club.
The 49-year-old is still locked up in a £20 million legal fight with Chelsea over what he feels was his unfair dismissal during the summer.

According to reports, the tactician wants his remaining £11.3 million salary paid in full — and is also claiming a further £8.7m for damage to his reputation.
Chelsea on the other hand will have to exonerate themselves to avoid paying a sum of £11 million to their former manager.
"Real Madrid? As I see it, it is better to wait until the end of the season than to take a train running now," said Conte.
"I want to wait for June and start again with a new project. In three months I could change my mind and deny everything, but I've always thought of it this way."

He continued: "If I think about the fact that I could train Ronaldo? No, I do not think about it," Conte added.
"I'm happy with the players I've trained and the things I've won.
"The club continues to grow and is doing a great job at the business level, with huge purchases and a great deal for Allegri.
"Of course, I am Italian and I like to live and train in Italy, obviously, at the moment there is an incredible dominance of Juventus, but the pursuers are they are strengthening year after year."
Conte has been touted to take over at Real Madrid after the sack of Julen Lopetegui but the Italian ruled himself out for the rest of the season.
Legit.ng recalls that Premier League giants Chelsea have terminated Antonio Conte's contract just two years after taking the job.
The Italian tactician became the Blues manager in the summer of 2016 and won the English topflight title for them in his debut season.
He ran into trouble with his employers after his first season at the Stamford Bridge but managed to wrap up the 2017-18 season with silverware - beating Manchester United to win this year's FA Cup.
