League One rivals ‘frustrated’ as manager opens talks with German club

 

Plymouth Argyle have announced that the club has “reluctantly allowed” head coach Miron Muslic to open talks with a German second division club.

 

The Pilgrims say Muslic “expressed his desire to speak with the German team and not return to England” following relegation from the Championship.

 

The 42-year-old took charge at Home Park in January and oversaw some impressive victories, but it ultimately wasn’t enough to avoid the drop.

 

An official statement read: “Despite regular communication since the end of the season, and no mention of any issues, Miron has now made it clear that, after extended periods away from his family, this opportunity provides him the chance to be closer to them after four years on the road.

 

“We are frustrated by this decision, having implemented clear structures, processes and personnel to aid Miron and his coaching staff as we look to return to the Sky Bet Championship at the earliest opportunity.

“Not only that, the club have also moved quickly to bring in new signings and received repeated verbal promises from Miron that he was committed to Argyle and would do everything to help the club bounce back to the second tier.

 

“Muslic joined the Greens in January 2025, on a three-and-a-half-year contract, after a period out of the game having departed Cercle Brugge. He will now leave Argyle just four months into that long-term commitment.

 

“We wish him the best for his future career. We will be making no further comment at this stage.”

 

Plymouth have already brought in Caleb Watts and Jamie Paterson from Exeter and Coventry respectively as they prepare for life back in the third tier.

 

Wanderers boss Steven Schumacher guided the Devon club to the title in 2022/23, surpassing the 100-point milestone, and they spent the past couple of seasons in the second tier.

 

Elsewhere in the division, Huddersfield have confirmed the appointment of Lee Grant following a lengthy recruitment process.
