Ruben Amorim, linked to West Ham United, may leave Sporting CP this summer as he is on West Ham’s list of potential replacements for David Moyes.
Moyes, 60, faces pressure as Hammers boss, with Fulham manager Marco Silva being lined up for replacement. The next two weeks will be crucial for his future at the club.
Premier League games against Fulham and Crystal Palace, along with a Europa League quarter-final clash with Bayer Leverkusen, could potentially secure Moyes a new deal. However, poor results between now and April 21st could prompt his departure.
Amorim’s name is often mentioned as the best candidate for replacement, and the Hammers may be considering a potential appointment of the Portuguese.
Major Ruben Amorim has been given a boost by West Ham.
Amorim is reportedly on the club’s radar as a potential replacement for Claret and Hugh Moyes, according to a source. The Sporting coach is considered the ideal candidate to elevate the Hammers.
The Scot’s style of play is not conducive to consistently challenging for the top five or six of the Hammers.
West Ham may appoint Amorim this summer, with a £26 million release clause for Portuguese clubs, and a £17 million clause for foreign clubs, with Sporting potentially accepting a fee closer to £8.5 million.
Ruben Amorim, a renowned Tribal Football coach, is a versatile figure in West Ham’s squad. He uses a 3-4-3 system, a 5-2-3 defending strategy, and an aggressive high press. His team has averaged 58.4% possession this season, demonstrating a flexible approach to the game.
Portuguese coach Amorim has transformed Sporting into an exciting team since taking over in 2020. He led the team to the league title and cup in 2020/21, and a trophy in the same competition in 2019/20. Currently, Sporting is four points clear of second-placed Benfica.
Ruben Amorim could elevate West Ham to the top five if Lucas Paqueta, Kudus, and Bowen remain, along with additional top-class signings in the summer, according to Romano’s claim.
