Following the sacking of Darren Moore at West Bromwich Albion, the club are believed to have declared an interest in appointing Slavisa Jokanovic as their new manager.

The Slovenian boss has been without a managerial role since his departure from Fulham earlier on in the season, and is believed to have had talks with the West Midlands side ahead of a potential appointment.

The vast majority of West Brom fans are thrilled with this latest development - Jokanovic has experience of gaining promotion to the Premier League twice in his managerial career, and knows what it takes to get up into the top flight via the play-offs, which looks to be the most likely route for West Brom this term.

His style of play is one that fans and players alike would definitely warm to, and one player who is bound to be thrilled at this latest news is Stefan Johansen.

The playmaker is no stranger to Jokanovic having played an influential role in his side's promotion to the top-flight last term, but has since failed to replicate the form he showed at Craven Cottage last term at the Hawthorns thus far.

The midfielder has endured a frustrating spell at the Hawthorns so far, scoring just one goal in four league starts for the club, but the appointment of Jokanovic could give him a new lease of life.

In a season where the likes of Ryan Sessegnon and Tom Cairney grabbed the headlines for Fulham, Johansen was undeniably their unsung hero, scoring eight goals and producing a hatful of assists for a Fulham team that played magnificent football.

Having the comfort of knowing that Jokanovic gets the best out of him would be beneficial for Johansen at West Brom...
