Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino was seen last night attending one match in Europe as his side continued preparation for their next game.
The Argentine was seen at the Amex, as Brighton looked to do what seemed the impossible against Roma in the second leg of their knockout tie.
Led by reported Chelsea manager target Roberto De Zerbi, the Seagulls fell victim of an embarrassing defeat in Italy last week.
Supporters who are considering a future without Pochettino at Stamford Bridge will likely not have been impressed by the Brighton boss’ inability to change his tactics to suit the occasion.
Despite a 1-0 win last night, it was not enough at all against a weaker Roma team that did not include Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku.
Pochettino was in attendance alongside director Paul Winstanley, potentially hinting that the relationship between the two is not as bad as many feared.
