The change from coach Miron Muslic to FC Schalke 04 at Plymouth Argyle continues to cause trouble. After the fixed departure of the 42-year-old, Simon Hallet, owner of the English second division relegated, spoke out and distributed in a detailed statement against Muslic. The 69-year-old in no way fits the 69-year-old from the means of the Austrians with Bosnian roots.
“We are disappointed with Miron Muslic’s departure – not that he changes to an association like Schalke, but about the time and the way of his departure,” Hallet initiated. And got out: “We hired Miron in January and gave him a three and a half year contract. Shortly after his start, we also hired the employees he wanted, including a co-trainer, a head of elite performance, a performance analyst and a little later a coach for standard situations.” In addition, a squad planning team was available, which, among other things, should advance the conversion of the team for the coming season after the commitment of the experienced sports director Stuart Webber.
Plyyle’s club boss further explained: “After the end of the season and in view of the rumors that Miron had aroused the interest of other clubs, I called him personally, and he assured me that he would be 100 percent involved in Argyle. As a result, Miron continued to participate in all squad planning meetings and was involved in the interviews and the commitment of players. wanted to leave. “
Muslic really wanted to switch from Plymouth Argyle to Schalke
Last Saturday, Muslic informed his employer to negotiate with Schalke. “According to his contract, an association that wants to speak to him needs the prior approval of Argyle. We were not ready to give this approval, but Miron informed us that he would not return to Plymouth under any circumstances. Therefore, we reluctantly gave the necessary approval,” said Hallet.
“By making his intention clear to never return, Miron left us no other choice than to continue. We could have been on the full compensation and went to court to enforce his contract, but then we could no longer have his services as head coach and the search for a replacement would have been blocked, the club chief wrote as part of the” Chairman’s chat “.
The atmosphere no longer allowed further cooperation and Plymouth Argyle finally gave in. “Instead of giving us gone in a lengthy and extremely disturbing process, we agreed on a compensation amount that is below the contractually agreed sum, but is a good financial result for a head coach of the League One and enables us to look ahead positively,” said Hallet. According to the “WAZ”, Muslic Schalke costs 700,000 euros plus a transfer game. In the royal blue, the coach signed a contract valid until 2027. “My thanks first of all go to Plymouth Argyle. You made it possible for me to record talks with FC Schalke 04,” Muslic was quoted by the miners.
