Miron Muslic, the head coach of Plymouth Argyle, is set to lead his team against Premier League giants Liverpool in the FA Cup. Muslic's journey is one of remarkable resilience, having fled Bosnia as a refugee with his family and overcome numerous challenges to become a successful football coach.
On Sunday, Miron Muslic will try to plot what many in football think is impossible - a win for his bottom-of-the-Championship Plymouth Argyle side against Premier League leaders and six-time European champions Liverpool in the FA Cup.took over as Argyle head coach from legendary England striker Wayne Rooney last month
"I've been in more challenging situations in my life than being a head coach and facing a possible draw or a defeat at the weekend. "My parents tried very hard to provide us with the things that we needed - my father worked for over 30 years as a waiter, my mother was a cleaning lady, and they tried very hard to give us a good life.
To add to his tough start, he saw his best defender, Lewis Gibson, and star forward, Morgan Whittaker, leave the club during the transfer window. He credits the sport with helping him adapt to his new homeland, allowing him to "have the privilege to call not only Bosnia, but also Austria, my home.""Because when you're on a football pitch or somewhere on the street, it's not about your name, your last name, it's not even about your refugee status or not; it's only about the game.
He is a man who has a steely look in his eyes but a warm and welcoming nature and is able to engage a room - just ask anyone who watched the video of his first speech to Argyle's players.
