Coalville Town will travel to Macclesfield FC next month for their FA Trophy quarter-final tie.
The Ravens sealed an impressive 3-0 win over 10-man Bishop's Stortford on Tuesday night to book a meeting with the Northern Premier League side ex-Premier League player Robbie Savage is director of football.
But Macclesfield are likely to have a new manager in charge,
Alex Bruce, son of former Manchester United defender Steve, was in charge of Macclesfield who are currently fifth in the NPL.
But he has now left to join Salford City to be part of Karl Robinson's coaching staff at the Peninsula Stadium.
It makes for an exciting clash in Cheshire on March 9.
Coalville are enjoying their best ever run in the Trophy and sunk Bishop's Stortford with three goals in the final half hour.
Coalville Town's You Tube channel showed action from the tie.
The Bishop's Stortford Independent reported that the tie match was played at Aveley's Parkside Stadium in South Ockendon, Essex, following a failed pitch inspection at the home side's RDA Stadium on Monday afternoon – the third postponement of the last-16 tie in 10 days.
But Bishop's Stortford were always up against it as they played with 10 men from the 12th minute after Riccardo di Trolio was sent off.
Di Trolio is on loan from Championship side Coventry City and brought down Ben Hart on the edge of the area.
Coalville took the lead after 59 minutes when Eliot Putman arrived in the box and slotted home from 10 yards.
Ten minutes later, Luke Shaw shrugged off his marker to make it two.
With four minutes left, Joe Doyle-Charles smashed the ball in off the underside of the crossbar for a third goal.
Coalville Town's You Tube channel carried an interview with Ravens manager, Ian King, after the win.
