Sporting thrashed Vitoria 3-0 on Sunday, moving within two games of winning the Portuguese title for the second time in Amorim’s four-year tenure. Amorim returned to Lisbon in the early hours of Tuesday after spending six hours in London, where he was met by a flock of reporters. He stated, “I’ll be here next week,” and added post-match, “The main objective is to become champion as quickly as possible. We have to respond to this incredible environment.”

Sporting faces a difficult game at the Dragao, Porto’s stadium, against a team and coach with a strong identity. Meanwhile, West Ham, seeking to surpass Liverpool, has had only one win in their last eight games under current boss Moyes. Moyes took charge in December 2019 for his second spell as manager of the Irons. Reports suggest that the club plans to clarify the Scot’s future at the end of the season, as his deal expires in June.

As for Liverpool’s potential targets replacing Ruben Amorim, the text ends abruptly, transitioning into a different topic.
