From Portugal - Report claims Amorim will not manage Liverpool or West Ham next season

Portuguese coach Rúben Amorim will not be heading to Liverpool or West Ham for the upcoming season, according to an exclusive report from Portugal's Record newspaper.

A source close to the Sporting Lisbon manager has confirmed that despite recent speculation surrounding his potential move to the Premier League, Amorim will remain with Sporting.

The revelation comes after Amorim's trip to London, where he reportedly had talks with West Ham United, according to an exclusive from the Athletic's David Ornstein.

The Sporting CP coach's visit to the UK fuelled rumours about a possible move to the Premier League, with both Liverpool and West Ham appearing to be strong contenders for his signature.

However, Record's source has indicated that there is "no scenario close to completion" regarding Amorim's move to the English top flight.

Despite causing a significant stir in the market with his recent visit, it seems that the coach is no longer considering either Liverpool or West Ham as his next destination.

Furthermore, there is a suggestion that Amorim's future, should he leave Sporting Lisbon, might not even be in England.

This development leaves both Liverpool and West Ham searching for other managerial candidates, with Liverpool's ongoing search for Jurgen Klopp's successor continuing to be a topic of intense interest.

As the speculation around Amorim's future continues to swirl, it remains to be seen which path he will take.

For now, Sporting Lisbon can rest assured that their coach will remain on the bench for the foreseeable future, while the Premier League clubs once vying for his services will have to turn their attention elsewhere.
