Bilic praises Conte's 'aggressive' demeanour

Antonio Conte reportedly angered Jose Mourinho with his touchline antics on Sunday, but Slaven Bilic is a fan of the Italian's style.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has praised Antonio Conte's "aggressive" coaching demeanour after the Chelsea tactician clashed with Jose Mourinho at the end of Sunday's hammering of Manchester United.

Chelsea made light work of Mourinho's side upon the Portuguese coach's return to Stamford Bridge, with the hosts running out comprehensive 4-0 winners.

Conte attracted attention for playing up to the home support after Chelsea's fourth goal and Mourinho, reportedly unhappy about the former Juventus coach's behaviour, appeared to have strong words with the Italian after the full-time whistle.
