Liverpool’s title bid suffered another setback as they were held to a 2-2 draw at West Ham, with a touchline clash between Mo Salah and Jurgen Klopp overshadowing the result. Salah, who had been dropped from the starting lineup, appeared to exchange words with Klopp after a missed West Ham chance. The incident sparked speculation that Salah had taken too long to prepare to come on as a substitute. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s poor form continued as they won just one of their last five Premier League matches.
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.
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.
