Former Burnley boss Sean Dyche says he was delighted for Kieran Trippier after he won the LaLiga title with Atletico Madrid.

Dyche has revealed Newcastle defender Trippier FaceTimed him when he won LaLiga.

Trippier spent two-and-a-half-years in Spain, winning the one and only top league title of his career under the management of Diego Simeone.

Speaking on Jimmy Bullard's Off the Hook Podcast, Dyche recalled the unexpected FaceTime conversation he had with Trippier and believes it is a mark of his character.

He said: "This is when you know you've affected someone, and they've affected you back. Kieran Trippier FaceTimed me off the pitch when they [Atletico Madrid] won the league.

"That is the mark of an unbelievably respectful kid. I couldn't catch my breath. I was drying my eyes. He said: 'all right gaffer.' I said 'Trips, unbelievable mate.' You know what I mean?"
