Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Ruben Amorim would meet with West Ham’s board in London on Monday.
According to the journalist on X (previously Twitter), the Portuguese international was flown to the English capital to explore a possible future move, “while discussions with Liverpool are on standby.”
The Merseysiders are thought to be evaluating a large number of individuals, with interviews scheduled for April.
The current situation with Liverpool’s future manager
Xabi Alonso’s ‘no’ to Bayern Munich and Liverpool left our fans naturally unhappy, but hopeful for an alternative.

Experience in a more difficult league is undoubtedly missing, but it’s hard to see many other rookie managers checking off so many boxes.
Perhaps there is something in the data available to Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes that raises concerns?
