West Ham Reignite Amorim Rumours 

West Ham United’s pursuit of Ruben Amorim as their next manager takes an unexpected turn as the club reportedly sent an official to scout a recent Sporting CP match.

Last week, West Ham fans were excited by the prospect of Amorim taking the helm, only to see their hopes dashed by reports of a failed negotiation and the manager’s apology to his current club Sporting CP.

A Portuguese news outlet, Record, has revived the Amorim rumour mill. According to their report, a West Ham official was present at the recent Porto vs Sporting CP match, supposedly to “take notes.” This has sparked speculation of a renewed interest in Amorim.

Now, there are two possible explanations for the official’s presence:

West Ham might have reconsidered Amorim’s candidacy. His exciting, attacking brand of football is a major contrast to David Moyes’ approach, and could be a welcome change for West Ham fans, or probably more likely the visit could be solely focused on evaluating Sporting’s 25-year-old winger, Pedro Goncalves.

While the scouting mission offers a glimmer of hope for Amorim’s appointment, it remains unclear whether West Ham’s interest in the manager has truly reignited.
