Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim has spoken out for the first time following shock talks with West Ham United. The 39-year-old Portuguese tactician has been linked with a move to the Premier League club, who are seeking a replacement for David Moyes. Amorim has been highly successful at Sporting, leading the club to the brink of the Portuguese league title and the Portuguese Cup final. He has also guided the team to the Europa Conference League semi-finals. Liverpool were initially considered the favorites to land Amorim, who was tipped to replace Jurgen Klopp. However, Xabi Alonso’s decision to remain at Bayer Leverkusen has reportedly put Amorim back in contention for the West Ham job. Amorim is known for his attacking and fluid 3-4-3 system, which could suit West Ham’s talented squad. However, he may need to strengthen the team’s defense and add a powerful striker to compete in the Premier League. Despite the rumors, Amorim remained coy when asked about his future, saying only, “See you Saturday,” in reference to his next press conference. With a crucial clash against Porto on the horizon, Amorim will be eager to focus on Sporting’s immediate challenges. However, the speculation surrounding his future is likely to continue until West Ham’s managerial situation is resolved.
