Adam Ružička has left Spartak Moskva in Moscow, Russia, reportedly due to a breach of contract. The club announced the departure, citing a violation of contractual obligations. According to unconfirmed reports from Russian media, Ružička refused to play in a league match against Ak Bars, was persuaded to play, and then left Moscow without the club's permission.
The reports describe him as a toxic person this season who poisoned the team atmosphere and was unwilling to fight for the team. Ružička's agent, Aljoša Pilko, stated they will act according to the rules and protect the player's rights legally. Ružička previously played for the Arizona Coyotes in the NHL until 2024, when his contract was terminated after he posted a video on Instagram showing drugs, reportedly cocaine.
