The Croatian manager was at the helm of the London club for 109 matches between 2015 and 2017, during which he oversaw a points per game total of 1.43 (per Transfermarkt).
However, the now West Bromwich Albion manager departed the club with the Hammers lingering in the relegation zone in November 2017 (per BBC). Fans wanted the 51-year-old back, though.
What a manager! Much better than the one we have now…?

What do we think?
As can be judged from the responses from many West Ham supporters, it is clear to see that they wish that the Croatian was still the manager of the London club.
Having enjoyed a respectable 42 wins over his 109 games in charge of the Hammers (per Transfermarkt), too, it seems clear to see why supporters would like to have him back at the club.
