Ex-coach from Plymouth: Muslic should lead Schalke 04 back to the Bundesliga!

FC Schalke 04 is in the intensive search for a new head coach. A clear favorite is currently emerging: Miron Muslic, an Austrian trainer, is considered as a potential successor. According to the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Schalke 04 activated the exit clause in Muslic's contract with Plymouth Argyle, which paves the way between the trainer and the German second division club. Plymouth Argyle has reportedly agreed that Muslic could do this, even though the club regretted that after only four months he wanted to go on the journey to be closer to his family.

Muslic had taken over the coaching position at Plymouth Argyle in January 2025, but due to a disappointing season and the penultimate place in the championship, he will now go again after a short time. The association had set up clear structures and support for Muslic in the hope of returning, but now loses its trainer, who has already had success in Austria, Belgium and England.

coaching candidates and competition

Other coaching candidates for the vacant position at Schalke 04 were Christian Titz, who was last worked at the 1st FC Magdeburg, and Lukas Kwasniok from SC Paderborn. However, Muslic is considered particularly suitable because of its characteristics that describe it as motivating and adaptable. Despite his current situation, the official confirmation of the change of Schalke 04 is still out and about, and the anticipation for a new trainer also brings uncertainties.

Psychological aspects of trainer changes

Change of coach in football are often a sensitive topic. In an analysis, sports psychologists found that such changes usually result in a short -term increase in performance, but this is often not permanent. The psychological effect associated with a coaching change should signal a restart to the team. Continuity in the coaching team is considered crucial for long -term success, especially in such an emotional and public sector as football.

remains to be seen how those responsible for the association will shape the upcoming steps. The coach's wish not to return to England could have a decisive influence on the complete realization of this transfer. The situation remains exciting, both for the fans and for the team, while everyone involved adapted to possible changes.
