KOCHI: Kerala Blasters have added Sweden’s Bjorn Wesstrom and Portugal’s Frederico Pereira Morais to their coaching team.

Bjorn is a highly experienced football professional who will positively complement the current staff while bringing enthusiasm and depth to the coaching team,” said Swede Mikael Stahre, the Blasters’ new head coach.
“Frederico is very modern in his approach to training, analysis and set pieces, which is a huge strength.”
