FC Schalke 04 appears to have ended its search for a new coach. After previously considering names like Lukas Kwasniok or Christian Titz, a completely different candidate, who nobody expected, seems to have won the race.

According to 'Sky', the Royal Blues are on the verge of signing Miron Muslic. As transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and 'WAZ' report, the deal is already done. To make this happen, Schalke allegedly activated the Austrian's release clause, who had a contract with English third-tier club Plymouth Argyle until 2028.

Muslic's supposed former club has meanwhile confirmed the rumors. The English team wrote in an official statement on their club website that they have "reluctantly allowed Muslic to enter into talks with a second-tier club". Additionally, the club expressed its disappointment with the 42-year-old's decision.

The Austrian, who is set to take his place on the sidelines of Schalke from next season, was relegated to the third English league with Plymouth in the previous season. Prior to that, Muslic was under contract with Cercle Brügge in Belgium.
