West Ham is actively planning for the post-David Moyes era, with Julen Lopetegui and Ruben Amorim emerging as frontrunners. Sporting Lisbon manager Amorim met with the club in London, while Lopetegui, formerly of Wolves, has expressed interest in returning to the Premier League.
Following Arsene Wenger’s departure in 2018, Unai Emery faced similar challenges at Arsenal. While the highly-regarded tactician Amorim is on West Ham United’s radar, he may encounter the same difficulties as Moyes and Emery. Amorim’s impressive record at Sporting Lisbon includes ending their 20-year league title drought in 2021 and currently leading the club 10 points clear of Benfica. Despite West Ham United’s ambitious efforts to lure Amorim, he reportedly met with Liverpool representatives on Monday. Former Sporting Lisbon board member Jaime Marta Soares acknowledges the difficulty in finding a manager of Amorim’s caliber. West Ham United, however, continues to explore potential replacements for Moyes, including Paulo Fonseca, Gary O’Neill, Marco Silva, and Julen Lopetegui.
West Ham are considering Paulo Fonseca and Ruben Amorim as potential replacements for David Moyes, according to HITC sources. The Hammers are reportedly ‘inundated’ with interest in their managerial vacancy, with Wolves boss Gary O’Neil, Fulham’s Marco Silva, and former Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel also linked. Fonseca, a former Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk manager, has reportedly received interest from West Ham in the past. He is currently in charge of Lille, where he has won nine trophies in his coaching career. Ruben Amorim, the Sporting Lisbon manager, has held talks with West Ham representatives but is unlikely to join the London club. The Hammers could therefore step up their pursuit of other options, including Fonseca.
Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim has addressed speculation linking him to West Ham United. Amorim, who was previously linked to Liverpool, has emerged as the Hammers’ top target to replace David Moyes. After talks in London on Monday, Amorim returned to Portugal with a crucial clash against Porto looming. When asked about the rumors, Amorim gave a cryptic three-word response: “See you Saturday.”
Ruben Amorim, the manager of Sporting CP, has returned to Portugal after meeting with West Ham United officials in London. Amorim has been linked with both West Ham and Liverpool, but his future remains up in the air. Amorim declined to comment on the meeting with West Ham, saying only that he would see reporters on Saturday before Sporting’s match against Porto.
With the end of the season approaching, West Ham needs to make a decision about David Moyes’ future. The club owes it to Moyes and the fans to be transparent about his future before the last home game. Moyes has had some success with West Ham, including three consecutive European quarter-finals and a UEFA Conference League trophy. However, it’s time for a fresh face with fresh ideas. Moyes’ stubbornness, defensive approach, and small squad have become problems for the team. In January, Moyes was fixated on acquiring Kalvin Phillips but was reluctant to strengthen the front end of the pitch. The Hammers produced a first half to remember in their bid to recover the tie only to gas out and not have viable options on the bench to turn to. The club is trying to break this cycle, following the ambitious technical director appointment of Tim Steidten. They now need an exciting manager to match the evolving structure of the club. Moyes did an exceptional job at West Ham, but like all good things, they must come to an end.
West Ham United is reportedly conducting due diligence on potential managerial candidates to replace David Moyes at the end of the season. Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim and former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui are among those under consideration. The club’s recent 5-2 defeat to Crystal Palace has raised questions about Moyes’ future, with his contract expiring this summer. If Moyes departs, Technical Director Tim Steidten’s influence within the club may increase.
West Ham United are reportedly considering Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim as a potential replacement for David Moyes, whose future with the club remains uncertain. The Hammers have struggled for form in 2024, and Moyes’ contract expires at the end of the season. Amorim, 39, is highly regarded as one of Europe’s most promising coaches and has been linked with several top clubs, including Liverpool and Chelsea.
West Ham United are reportedly in discussions with Ruben Amorim, manager of Sporting Lisbon, regarding the possibility of him taking over as manager following the conclusion of the current season. With David Moyes’ contract expiring at the end of the campaign, the Hammers are exploring options for his potential replacement. Amorim, who has been linked to Liverpool as a possible successor to Jurgen Klopp, is said to be a top candidate, favored by technical director Tim Steidten. While Amorim is reportedly open to the position and has a release clause in his contract, he is taking his time in making a decision due to the substantial interest in his services. Other managers also under consideration include Julen Lopetegui, Paulo Fonseca, and Christophe Galtier.
