West Ham United have been drawn to face West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup fourth round.
[freshpress-poll id=”271377″]
The tie will take place at the London Stadium and will see former Hammers boss Slaven Bilic return to his old stomping ground.
Bilic managed West Ham for 109 matches between June 2015 and November 2017 (Transfermarkt) and guided them to an impressive seventh-place finish in the Premier League in the 15/16 campaign when they lost just eight times (Sky Sports).
In his second campaign, he led the club to 11th place in what was their first campaign at the London Stadium, but after a poor start to the 17/18 season he was dismissed by the club (BBC Sport).
The Croatian is of course now in charge of the Baggies where he is doing a terrific job, they sit in second place in the Championship at the time of writing and are nine points clear of third place (BBC Sport).
It seems that most West Ham fans are looking forward to welcoming their former manager back, here is what some had to say on Twitter following the draw…
SUPER SLAVEN BILIC
