Kerala Blasters have completed the signing of Alexandre Coeff on a one-year deal till 2025. The experienced French defender joins them after years of experience across Europe’s big leagues.
He most recently played for SM Caen in the French Ligue 2. However, he has played for top division clubs such as Lens, Brest, Udinese, Granada and Mallorca to name a few.

“Hello to the entire Yellow Army, thank you for this warm welcome, I have rarely experienced this in my career, I can’t wait to vibrate with you on the ground, see you soon,” the defender told the club’s official website.
The 32-year-old will not join the squad for their preseason camp immediately, as he has requested some time due to personal reasons. As a result, he might miss the group stage of the Durand Cup, which will begin in just a few days.
However, he will certainly be available for the start of the ISL season, provided there are no unfortunate injuries.
Since the Frenchman can play as a defensive midfielder as well as a right-back, it will be interesting to see where he ends up playing in the end. If he plays in midfield, he could be a direct replacement for Jeakson Singh, who recently completed a record transfer to East Bengal.
