The former Italy coach seemed keen to play down the size of his financial reward but, judging by his plans for the money, it is a substantial sum.

“Is mine a good bonus? It depends which way you want to see it,” he said. “I think maybe I will use it to buy a house in Italy.

“In Lecce I have my parents and, for sure, I hope to spend a bit of time there on my holidays, to stay in Turin also.

“It’s an opportunity because, in the last summer, I had no chance to have a holiday because we started with Chelsea after three days from the Euros.

“It will be a very calm holiday this summer. I’ll spend a few days with my parents and in the place I was born.”
