On 6 August 2016, Arkady Andreasyan was appointed as the club's manager in early August 2016.[5]

On 14 October, Ararat announced that they had terminated their contracts with Happy Simelela, Kouadio Brou, Pol Asu Oshi and Brahima Bruno Koné by mutual consent.[6] Two weeks later, Ararat also announced they had terminated their contracts with Souleymane Kone, Oumarou Kaina and Kyrian Nwabueze, also by mutual consent.[7]

On 20 December, Ararat announced wholesale changes to their squad, with Erik Nazaryan, Gor Poghosyan, Revik Yeghiazaryan, David Minasyan, Andranik Kocharyan and Edgar Mkrtchyan all signing for the club, whilst Petros Ter-Petrosyan, Aram Loretsyan, Davit Markosyan and Nassim Aaron Kpehia all left the club.[8]
