Miron Muslic: A lifelong dream becomes a coach at Plymouth Argyle!

Plymouth, England - coach Miron Muslic has fulfilled a lifelong dream with his move to the English Club Plymouth Argyle. The 42-year-old, who signed a contract for three years and six months on January 10, 2025, is ready to start his career in the EFL Championship. Looking back at his previous coaching career, which led him to Cercle Brugge, among other things, where he celebrated remarkable success last season, he now enjoys the recognition of the approximately 16,000 fans in Plymouth. At his official idea, which was celebrated with standing ovation and warm greeting, Muslic was emotionally touched and fought against tears. "This reception was simply overwhelming!" he was enthusiastic.

The way to the coaching career

Muslic, who had fled to Austria during the War of Bosnia, went through an impressive player career that began in the mid -1990s. After playing in various amateur clubs, he took on first coaching tasks, including in the youth of SV Ried. From there he rose to the head coach and demonstrated his skills in the second division of Austria. His time at Cercle Brugge is particularly worth mentioning, where he redeemed the team from the relegation ranks and qualified them for European competitions. The move to Plymouth Argyle marks another step in his coaching career and for him means an exciting challenge on an international parquet, especially with a view to the upcoming first game.

The challenges that Muslic is now expecting in the championship are enormous. The pressure to prove yourself in one of the toughest leagues in the world will not be small. On Saturday his first home game against Oxford United is imminent and expectations are high. Muslic hopes to count on the support of his fans while continuing his new path in the competitive world of training. His predecessor Wayne Rooney is also part of this exciting new journey, and Muslic can look forward to dealing with the challenges of football in the coming weeks, as
