The 49-year-old Stahre, appointed ahead of the current season, enjoyed a promising start in the Durand Cup, but the Blasters suffered a last-minute elimination in the quarter-finals against rivals Bengaluru FC.

However, Blasters’ ISL campaign under the Swede has been a challenging one. 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.

In total, the Blasters played 16 matches under Stahre (including four non ISL matches), managing only five wins while suffering eight defeats.

The Blasters will aim to turn their ISL season around when they host bottom-placed Mohammedan Sporting on Sunday.
