Carlos Carvalhal's return to Hillsborough ended in stalemate as Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea played out a goalless draw in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
It was a game of few clear-cut chances and the teams will have to try again at the Liberty Stadium in a week and a half.
Carvalhal's two-and-a-half-year stint as Wednesday manager, which saw them reach the Championship playoffs in successive seasons, ended by mutual consent on Christmas Eve.
He said ahead of his swift return that he would be "an Owl forever" and he emerged from the tunnel ahead of his players and sat in the dugout alone, seemingly soaking up the occasion.
