​West Ham boss Bilic easy over Chelsea counterpart Conte touchline antics

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic insists he has no problem with Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte's touchline antics.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho took exception to Conte trying to whip up the home crowd when Chelsea were 4-0 up against Manchester United on Sunday.

"I know what Jose thought of that, but I don't think that's the reason Conte did it, to humiliate United," said Bilic.

"He just wanted the crowd to praise the team because they were winning, and for what they had done in the game.

"From my point of view I don't think he wanted to humiliate United.

"On the touchline many managers just sit and watch the game, others are like they are playing. You have to be yourself.

"During that game I saw nothing wrong from Conte or nothing he hasn't done since he started. It was typical Conte, aggressive, but in a good way."
