The 2016 Kerala Blasters FC season is the third season in the history of the Kerala Blasters, a franchise in the Indian Super League.

Background

In 2016, in an effort to rebuild after failing to qualify for the finals the previous season, Kerala Blasters announced the signing of former Crystal Palace manager Steve Coppell as head coach on 21 June 2016.^[1] A week later, the club announced the signing of Northern Ireland international Aaron Hughes as their marquee player for the season.^[2] Other moves made before the season included the signing of Graham Stack, Kervens Belfort, Duckens Nazon, and Mohammed Rafique and return of former players Michael Chopra and Cédric Hengbart.^[3]

The season began where the previous left off, with a 1–0 defeat away from home against NorthEast United.^[4] After the first month of the season, the Blasters had one of the best defenses statistically in the league but struggled in attack.^[5] In the second half of the season, after the return of C.K. Vineeth from loan with Bengaluru FC, the Blasters managed to surge their way into the finals.^[6] They achieved this by defeating Delhi Dynamos 3–0 in a penalty shootout during the semi-final.^[7] In the final, the Kerala Blasters would play host to Atlético de Kolkata. The Blasters took the lead early through Mohammed Rafi before Kolkata equalized soon after. The match went into a penalty shootout, Despite taking the lead early in the shootout, the Kerala Blasters lost 4–3 and thus were defeated in their second final in three seasons.^[8]
