Current Sporting boss Ruben Amorim is a 8/1 outsider with Sky Bet to be appointed as the next West Ham manager.

Amorim was a heavy favourite to join Liverpool earlier in the week, however, after a meeting with the Hammers on Monday - there are some of the belief that Amorim could be in east London this summer.

Since holding talks with West Ham, reports have emerged that they tabled a more lucrative offer than the Reds and can provide him the freedom to build his squad as he wishes.

Despite West Ham's interest - there are three other candidates who are better backed in the market currently.

Those three managers are Julen Lopetegui, Graham Potter and Gary O'Neil at 2/1, 3/1 and 7/1 respectively.  

Meanwhile, there are three other suitors who are joint fourth-favourites alongside Amorim, with Hansi Flick, Michael Carrick and Paulo Fonseca also 8/1.

Julen Lopetegui 2/1

Graham Potter 3/1

Gary O'Neil 7/1 

Michael Carrick 8/1

Ruben Amorim 8/1

Hansi Flick 8/1
