Ex-Chelsea manager Antonio Conte was ‘always angry’, says Diego Costa (Picture: Getty)Diego Costa has taken aim at former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, claiming the Italian was ‘always angry’ and ‘nobody liked him’ when he was at the club. Costa would go on to win two Premier League titles and a Carabao Cup with the Blues. Costa went on to rejoin Atleti for a second spell before turning out for Atletico Mineiro, Wolves and Botafogo. Looking back on his time with Conte, now the manager of Napoli, Costa told Obi Mikel: ‘He is a person who doesn’t trust others. The past is the past.’If Conte is the least favourite manager that Costa ever worked with, it appears Jose Mourinho is at the very opposite end of the scale.
