According to report emanating from Marca, Chelsea striker Diego Costa told his boss 'Antonio Conte' that, he should 'get rid of him' if he does not like his style of play.
Diego striker was animated as he was seen gesturing to the bench to demand he should be subbed during the second half of the Stamford Bridge clash with Leicester City.
It is reported Antonio Conte has been criticising Diego Costa style of play, which was made evident in last Saturday's League clash against Leicester City, after taking offence to Conte's constant stream of instructions and was asked to be subbed, a gesture which lasted for about 30 secs.
The Italian coach refused to sub the frontman as the home side ran out comfortable 3-0 winners. The Spain international warned Conte that it was the 'last time' he would criticize him in public and yelled that the boss should kick him out of the club if he has a problem with his attitude.
It is claimed that the incident was the latest – and most serious – in a string of bust-ups between the pair.
However, The Sun claims Chelsea have denied the latest reports – slamming the Spanish press for 'troublemaking'.
