Kerala Blasters sacked its Swedish head coach Mikael Stahre along with assistant coaches Bjorn Wesstrom and Frederico Pereira Morais on Monday following a poor run in which it lost six of its last seven Indian Super League matches.
The coaches “have left their respective roles with immediate effect,” the Blasters said in a statement on Monday evening.
“The club sincerely thanks Mikael, Bjorn and Frederico for their contributions throughout their time with Kerala Blasters. We wish them nothing but success in their future endeavours,” said the Blasters. The new coach will be announced shortly.
Tomasz Tchorz, the Blasters reserve team’s head coach and head of youth development, along with assistant coach T.G. Purushothaman, will take over the responsibility of managing the first team till then.
With just three wins from 12 matches, the Blasters are currently down in the 10th spot in the 13-team ISL table.
