Del Bosque: Man Utd boss Mourinho right to warn Conte

Former Spain coach Vicente del Bosque says Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was wrong to rev-up the crowd during victory over Manchester United.

Del Bosque has witnessed Conte's exuberance up close and personal in the past. The pair faced off during the Euro 2016 quarter final, which would ultimately be the 65-year-old's final match at the helm of the Spanish national team with Italy winning 2-0.

"Mourinho's message to Conte didn't seem bad to me," Del Bosque told El Larguero.

"Sometimes you've got to be a little more restrained when celebrating wins, truly. It hurt me too when we played Italy.

"I'm not saying don't express joy. You don't have to be as boring as me, but express your joy in moderation.

"I'm not defending Mourinho, but he had a point."
