Chelsea boss got a little too close to the action as Lazio defender Manuel Lazzari tussled with Udinese's Ignacio Pussetto on the by-line.Lazzari body-checked his opponent, sending him clattering into Sarri and knocking the chain-smoking Italian to the floor.Slow-motion replays showed the 63-year-old's face wrap around Pussetto's shoulder as his glasses flew off in comical fashion.Luckily, both men got back to their feet and gave each other a cuddle, and Sarri even offered up a wry smile after retrieving his glasses."That definitely calls for a smoke break," one person tweeted after the collision."Flying glasses are pure poetry," said another."The fact that our chain-smoking king got up before a fully fit athlete still has me in tears," a Chelsea fan tweeted.Another fan joked: "He dived, where's VAR?"It's arguably the most uncomfortable Sarri's looked on a touchline since Kepa Arrizabalaga refused to come off in the 2018 Carabao Cup final.Which Premier League manager would you most like to see getting knocked on their arse?
