"It's actually funny" – Ruben Amorim speaks again about situation after West Ham 'soap opera'

03/05/2024 17:36

Sporting Club de Portugal manager Ruben Amorim has again spoken about the possibility of a move to West Ham United this summer as he continues to be linked with a move to the London Stadium.

O Jogo cover comments from the Portuguese coach today as reports suggest he is one of the last two candidates to replace David Moyes.

Moyes is in the final months of his contract with the Hammers and all indications are that he will be departing in the summer, with the club very much looking at replacements.

Amorim is one of them and even recently flew to London to speak to the club, a decision that ultimately didn't work out as he'd planned, with the trip garnering plenty of criticism and seemingly not moving him closer to the West Ham job, on indeed any others.

The situation has changed again, though, and reports in England have insisted that he remains on the shortlist and that it may even be a straight shoot out between him and Julen Lopetegui.

That's led to the Sporting boss being questioned on the West Ham situation once again, in which he admitted it was all getting rather funny for him.

“I try to be honest with you, then there are soap operas that I offer myself to other clubs, and it’s actually funny," he said.

"I try to be sincere. There are situations in which we try to leave through the big door, but there are different situations. The age of my children… But I guarantee you, it will be much more boring, I will be a little more different in that aspect.”

That is partly a reaction to the very public trip he had to meet West Ham, with the manager and his agent learning that wasn’t the best way to do things.

Boring is better.
