Chelsea co-owner, Behdad Eghbali has dropped a big hint over who the club's next permanent manager will be.
The Blues are looking for a new man, since parting ways with Graham Potter at the start of the month.
Mauricio Pochettino has now established himself as the stand-out candidate.
After several rounds of talks with the former Paris Saint-Germain boss, Chelsea are now believed to be on the verge of offering Pochettino a contract.
Now footage has emerged of Eghbali at the LA Lakers' victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night in the NBA.
As he left the stadium, he was greeted by a Chelsea supporter in the stands, who asked: "Who's the next Chelsea boss?"
Eghbali initially responded by saying, "Who do you want?"
He was then pressed on whether it was going to be Pochettino, to which he winked, gave a thumbs up and smiled as he said: "Maybe, maybe."
