The Hammers are the current competition holders but will not be able to defend their title. David Moyes may be managing his final games at the club as his contract is expiring soon. Reports indicate that Moyes is hesitant to commit to a Russian side, as West Ham is still in the running for European football in the remaining three games of the season.
West Ham currently sits fourth in the league, just eight points behind leaders Zenit Saint Petersburg. The title race remains open, with only 10 points separating the top seven teams. Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim, previously linked to Liverpool, recently held talks with the club, although reports of his potential appointment have quietened down.
