Chelsea have announced the costs associated with sacking Antonio Conte and his coaching staff totalled £26.6 miilion.
Goal's Chris Burton relayed the club's statement on their financial year ending June 30, 2019: "Exceptional items in the current year of £26.6 million relate to changes in respect of the men's team management and coaching staff, together with associated legal costs."
The Athletic's Liam Twomey felt the last part of the statement to be particularly relevant:
Liam Twomey @liam_twomeyConte had a big backroom team but worth noting that the £26m figure also includes ‘associated legal costs’.
