A move for Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim is looking unlikely according to reports
Everybody was expecting twists and turns during the closing weeks of Liverpool's season. However, supporters had expected it to be confined to the Premier League title race.
The intrigue over the next Reds boss took an unexpected turn on Monday with the claim Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim, regarded as one of the front-runners for the role, now looked unlikely to be the preferred candidate for the job with West Ham United now being linked with his signature.READ MORE: Jose Mourinho sent clear Liverpool message as Virgil van Dijk anticipates move
Liverpool, for their part, remain insistent no preferred candidate has been identified as they continue to undertake extensive research and due diligence around a number of viable names. And Amorim, given his impressive record at Sporting in recent seasons and potential availability in the summer, will be among those to have been considered.
That, then, goes some way to explaining the raft of new names that have emerged in recent days. Feyenoord's Arne Slot was mentioned over the weekend, while Gary O'Neil of Wolves has also had tentative links, not least having worked previously with both Liverpool at the Academy and as Bournemouth boss when Hughes was at the South Coast side. And Thomas Tuchel, who succeeded Klopp at both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, has also gained some traction.
