Italian
Ranieri also has a separate clause in his contract that guarantees him
100,000 pounds for every place that his team finish above 18th, which
will see him earn 1.7 million pounds if the Foxes come first.
When
Ranieri took charge of Leicester in the close season, he was tasked
with keeping the team in the Premier League. Leicester's owners wrote a
number of clauses into his contract to make a parting of ways easier if
he failed.
Ranieri
asked for clauses of his own, granting him incentives if the club
qualified for the Europa League, the Champions League or won the Premier
League.
He
currently earns about 1.5 million pounds a year, according to the
report, and is in discussions with the club over a new contract.
Leicester
need three points from their last three games to win their first
top-flight title and will be crowned champions if they beat Manchester
United at Old Trafford on Sunday or if second-placed Tottenham Hotspur
lose to Chelsea on Monday night.
When
asked earlier in the season if Leicester's players would also be
entitled to a bonus if the team won the title, Ranieri said: "I don't
know if there is a clause (for players) and I don't tell you. They made a
mistake if they didn't arrange it. I considered if I win the league."
