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.[6][7] Two days later, the club announced the departure of first team coach Nicky Eaden.[8]
On 30 June 2016, Andy Holden was appointed as first team coach. Holden had previously worked with Stubbs at Hibernian.[9]
On 19 October 2016 the club announced the departure of Stubbs, Doolan and Holden with immediate effect.[10]

On 12 January 2017, the club changed goalkeeping coach, with Andy Dibble leaving for Cardiff[12] and Mike Pollitt returning to the club for a third time to replace him.[13]
Rotherham became the first side in the top six tiers of English football to be relegated in the 2016–17 season on 1 April, after losing 1–0 at home to Fulham.[14]
On 5 April 2017, the club formally appointed Paul Warne as manager, on a one-year rolling contract.[15]
