Now, the Pilgrims have named former Cercle Brugge boss Muslic as the new man in the dugout, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Club chairman Simon Hallett told <a href="https://www.pafc.co.uk/news/miron-muslic-appointed-argyle-head-coach" target="_blank">Plymouth's website</a>: "Miron had a clear vision of how he wanted to take Argyle forward and showed a depth of tactical awareness that made it clear exactly how he wanted the team to set up and play. He comes with glowing reviews from his time at Cercle Brugge where he took a team from a lowly league position to European football which is no mean feat. I want to welcome him to the club and look forward to seeing him have an immediate impact on the team.”</p>

Meanwhile, new man Muslic - who guided Cercle Brugge to 43 wins in his 101 games in charge of the Belgian top-flight team - has the huge task of keeping bottom-of-the-table Plymouth in the Championship.</p>
