Antonio Conte was unable to stop himself laughing at Diego Costa during a press conference earlier today.

The Chelsea manager was asked a question about the striker saying he had been treated like a ‘criminal’ by the club.

The Italian clearly finds Costa’s take on the unhappy situation hilarious – and didn’t shy away from showing it.

When he got himself back under control he said: ‘I can tell you that everyone who works in Chelsea knows what happened’.

Conte’s reaction to the question will likely infuriate Costa who is already unhappy at his treatment.

The striker was sent a text by Conte earlier in the summer to inform him he had no future at Stamford Bridge.

His exit is yet to be arranged but while it is, Costa is staying in Brazil. The club have asked that he return to London so he can train with the reserves but the striker is refusing.

Costa wishes to return to former club Atletico Madrid, however the Spain international claims Chelsea are demanding too much money for him.
