## Season events

On 29 February, Quincy Promes was detained at the Al Maktoum International Airport on suspicion of leaving the scene of a traffic accident as Spartak were returning to Russia after a mid-season training camp in the UAE. On 12 March, Promes was arrested again and the Netherlands sent an official request for his extradition.
On 14 April, Spartak sacked Head Coach Guille Abascal, with Vladimir Slišković taking over in a temporary capacity.
