Club: Sunderland A.F.C.

Season (around): 2016/17

Manager: David Moyes (appointed summer 2016; he was Sunderland's head coach through the 2016/17 Premier League campaign)

Home ground: Stadium of Light (Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England)

Summary of the 2016/17 campaign:

• Sunderland competed in the English Premier League for the 2016/17 season but struggled for form throughout the campaign.
• The club finished bottom of the Premier League and were relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
• Off-the-field difficulties and a thin goalscoring record were key factors in the club's decline; David Moyes worked to steady the side but could not prevent relegation.
• Domestic cup runs that season were limited and did not offset the club’s league difficulties.

Notable players (examples from that period): Jermain Defoe (leading attacking figure/goal threat during the season), Sebastian Larsson, Vito Mannone — these were among the more prominent first-team figures around that campaign.

Aftermath: Relegation at the end of 2016/17 led to a period of rebuilding for Sunderland in the Championship the following season.
