The 2016–17 season is Rotherham United's 92nd season in their existence and the third consecutive season in the Championship.[3] Last season, Rotherham secured their place in this season's championship with a 21st-placed finish, 9 points above the relegation zone.[4] Along with competing in the Championship, the club will also participate in the FA Cup, in which they enter in the third round, and the EFL Cup.

Key Events

On 1 June 2016, Rotherham appointed Alan Stubbs as manager, with John Doolan joining him as assistant manager. Both signed three year contracts with the Millers.[5][6] Two days later, the club announced the departure of first team coach Nicky Eaden.[7]

On 30 June 2016, Andy Holden was appointed as first team coach. Holden had previously worked with Stubbs at Hibernian.[8]

On 19 October 2016 the club announced the departure of Stubbs, Doolan and Holden with immediate effect.[9]

Kenny Jackett was named manager on 21 October 2016, signing a three-year deal.[10] On 28 November, 39 days later and after only 5 games in charge, he resigned.[2]
