However, their ISL campaign under Stahre has been challenging. Kerala Blasters currently sit 10th in the table, with just three wins and two draws from their first 12 matches. They are on a three-match losing streak, managing only one win while losing six of their last seven games.
Four of their seven defeats have come at home. The Blasters will aim to turn their season around when they host bottom-placed Mohammedan SC on Sunday in Matchweek 13.
In the interim, Reserve Team Head Coach and Head of Youth Development Tomasz Tchórz, along with assistant coach TG Purushothaman, will take charge of the First Team until a new head coach is appointed, the club confirmed.
