Ruben Amorim's three-word reply after Liverpool talks collapsed amid Arne Slot development

Liverpool and West Ham both expressed interest in Ruben Amorim, the highly-regarded Sporting Lisbon manager, but his future remains uncertain after recent talks in England.

The Portuguese coach had been a leading candidate to replace Jürgen Klopp at Anfield, but after discussions with West Ham, it's now clear that he is more likely to pursue a role at the London Stadium.

If in England at all after Record claimed that Amorim will now join neither Premier League side.

Amorim visited London on Monday, where he spent six hours discussing his future with West Ham officials, as per the Mirror, who are preparing for life after David Moyes, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

After returning to Portugal, Amorim spoke to reporters eager to hear about his meeting with West Ham and his links to Liverpool.

Despite the speculation, Amorim offered only three words in response: "See you Saturday."

Refusing to be drawn into the media is a smart move even if he doesn't become the next Liverpool manager.

With Amorim out of the running, Liverpool have turned their attention to other managerial prospects like Roberto De Zerbi, Thomas Frank, and Arne Slot.

Slot, the current Feyenoord head coach, is gaining momentum as the "leading candidate" to replace Klopp at Anfield.

The 45-year-old Dutchman has gained acclaim for his aggressive, high-octane style and his success in the Eredivisie, having led Feyenoord to a title and a recent victory in the KNVB Cup final.

Based on the latest information from Paul Joyce and Fabrizio Romano, it appears that Arne Slot is now the frontrunner to become the next Liverpool manager.

With Liverpool's manager hunt intensifying, we should see movement in the coming days.
