Michail Antonio defends West Ham manager Slaven Bilic as he praises him for bringing him to the club

West Ham United winger Michail Antonio has defended manager Slaven Bilic after an indifferent season at the London Stadium.

The Hammers will finish the season mid-table in the Premier League but there were points when they flirted with the drop zone.

Some have called for a change of leadership, but Antonio doesn't believe that is necessary.

The 27-year-old, who signed a new four-year deal at the club earlier this month, also praised Bilic by giving him a chance last season before giving him a prolonged period in the team this year.
