Background
2016 was another disappointing season for NorthEast United.

In their final match of regular league phase NorthEast United needed a win against Kerala Blasters to proceed further, which they ended up losing 1–0 by conceding a goal at 66th minute.[5] NorthEast United finished 5th on points table with 18 points from 14 matches.[5] After the end of season, NorthEast United parted ways with coach Nelo Vingada on mutual consent.[6]

At the end of 2016 Indian Super League season majority of domestic players from NorthEast United were loaned by or transferred to I-League clubs for 2016–17 season.

NorthEast United announced on 17 July 2017 that João Carlos Pires de Deus will be taking over as head coach.[8] Deus said:[9]
I am a very positive man and I am very positive about the challenge that I have with NorthEast United FC. The club is new with a vibrant fan base and owners who have the right vision to develop football in the region. I can assure the fans that we will play positive football and that all the players and the staff will work hard. We will leave no stone unturned so that we can achieve our objectives. I believe that young players are important in any campaign and will ensure that they fit seamlessly into our setup. This year, we will be focused on playing good football and winning as many games as we can...taking it one game at a time.
On 8 July, NorthEast United announced they are retaining Rehenesh TP[10] and Rowllin Borges[11] for two years.[12] Remaining players from previous squad who had returned from loans namely Nirmal Chettri, Reagan Singh, Fanai Lalrempuia, Subrata Pal, Seityasen Singh, Robin Gurung and Sumeet Passi went straight into players draft.

Forward Seminlen Doungel made his come back to NorthEast United for a second stint along with forward Halicharan Narzary.[2]
In ISL draft, goalkeeper Subrata Pal, defender Robin Gurung and forward Sumeet Passi drafted to new expansion franchise Jamshedpur FC.[13] Midfielder Seityasen Singh was picked by Delhi Dynamos.[14]
On 13 September, NorthEast United announced their eight foreign singing namely defenders Martín Díaz, Sambinha and José Gonçalves, midfielders Adilson and Marcinho and forwards Luis Páez, Odaïr Fortes and Wellington da Silva on their official Twitter account from series of Tweets.[15][16]
