West Ham United fans saw Slaven Bilic working as a pundit for ITV on Tuesday night.

New West Ham manager Slaven Bilic looks on during the UEFA Europa League match between West Ham United and FC Lusitans at Boleyn Ground on July 2, 2015 in London, England.

England were in action on Tuesday night, and played out a 1-1 draw with Italy at Wembley Stadium to bring an end to the international break.

The Three Lions beat the Netherlands 1-0 in Amsterdam on Friday, and looked to be heading towards another win when Jamie Vardy smashed home Jesse Lingard’s quickly-taken free kick.

However, there was a late sting in the tale as debutant James Tarkowski was adjudged to have fouled Federico Chiesa according to VAR, and Lorenzo Insigne scored the resulting penalty to hand Italy a draw.

The game was shown by ITV, and they called upon former West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic for punditry on the game, alongside Lee Dixon and Ian Wright as the Croatian returns to football.

Bilic has barely been seen since being sacked by West Ham United in November, with the 49-year-old taking a break from the game after a stressful two-and-a-half-years in charge of the Hammers.

West Ham remain in relegation trouble even without Bilic at the helm as David Moyes has lost four of his last five games in heavy fashion, and Hammers fans took to Twitter to comment on Bilic on Tuesday night.

West Ham United fans hold up a protest banner during the Premier League match between West Ham United and Burnley at London Stadium on March 10, 2018 in London, England.

Many suggested that they were missing Bilic as West Ham manager, and would love to go back to Euro 2016, when Bilic was celebrating on the studio table celebrating a goal from then-Hammers hero Dimitri Payet for France.

Others would do anything to have Bilic back now and would still be backing him if he was in charge to this day, blaming David Gold, David Sullivan and Karren Brady for ruining Bilic’s work from the 2015-16 season.
