West Ham boss Bilic has pop at 'David Brent-style' managers

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has had a pop at the 'David Brent-style' of some managers.

Bilic thinks the best managers are those that are able to communicate simply.

"I find it much easier to talk to top coaches about the game than students or lower-level managers. When I speak to a top coaches about a player, they will say 'He's quick. He's fast.'

"In the Croatian Second Division, the manager will tell me 'His anaerobic endurance is 1.2 cross metres squared in a second.' And then people on the next table, the chairmen, say 'Oh, f****** hell, he's clever'.

"The whole job is very complex but the top managers, they cut through it and talk like fans," Bilic told the Daily Mail.
