Ruben Amorim speaks for the first time after flying to London to hold talks with West Ham about becoming their next manager - as Sporting Lisbon boss returns to Portugal

In-demand manager Ruben Amorim remained tight-lipped as he returned to Portugal following a whirlwind trip to London following talks with West Ham over succeeding David Moyes at the helm.

On Monday, the Sporting Lisbon boss flew to the English capital to speak with the Hammers as they assess the future of the club beyond the end of the season.

And upon his return to his homeland hours later, landing just after midnight on Tuesday, the 39-year-old was met by a swarm of journalists asking about his future.

Despite being bombarded with questions and having multiple cameras and photographers in his face, Amorim laughed off speculation about his next move.
