On 24 July 2024, the Indian Super League club Kerala Blasters FC announced the signing of Coeff on a one-year deal.[14] He made his debut for the club on 23 August in a 1–0 loss against Bengaluru FC in the 2024 Durand Cup quarter final by coming as a substitute in the 63rd minute.[15] Coeff made his first league appearance against Punjab FC on 15 September, which ended in a 1–2 defeat for the Blasters, where he played the entire 90 minutes. He scored his maiden goal for the Blasters against Mohammedans S.C., which ended in a 3–0 win for the Blasters. On 17 January 2025, Kerala Blasters FC and Alexandre Coeff have mutually agreed to part ways.[16]
