MIRON Muslic has declared he is very optimistic he can help Plymouth Argyle achieve their overriding goal of retaining their Championship status this season.
The new head coach boss described the task as a challenge, but 'a possible challenge' as he spoke at his introductory Press conference yesterday afternoon. The 42-year-old Austrian will take charge of the bottom-of-the-table Pilgrims for the first time when they take on Oxford United in the Championship at Home Park tonight.
Muslic's belief that Argyle can stay up has been fuelled by the excellent all-round performance he saw them put in when they upset Premier League club Brentford in a 1-0 Emirates FA Cup third round win at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday for what was their first away victory of the campaign.
Formerly the boss of Belgian Pro League club Cercle Brugge, who he led into European competition for only the fourth time in club history for this season, Muslic took his first training session at Harper's Park yesterday before meeting the local media.
Muslic said: "I did my analysing over the last couple of days. It was very busy, very hectic. So you can get a little bit of a feeling, or a little bit of insight, of Argyle, of the team, of everything that the videos can give you and the data can show you.
"But when you are here, and especially when you meet the people, I then understood how important Argyle is for the people so I'm very honoured to be here and I'm also very much looking forward to experience our first home game.
