The relationship between the striker and the coach was not good towards the end, so much so that Diego Costa left Stamford Bridge in January 2018 and then the coach would do the same in the summer of that year.

When asked about Conte, this is what Diego Costa said: "As a person, he is the worst coach I have ever had. He thinks he knows everything. He is always angry, always in a bad mood. Maybe he’s such a bitter person because he doesn’t have sex. It’s not pleasant to train with him. No one liked him and that’s why he didn’t last long [at Chelsea]."
