IRON Muslic has again declined to answer questions about his future as Plymouth Argyle head coach but made clear his ‘true love and respect’ for the Green Army.

Muslic, appointed by the Pilgrims on a three-and-half-year contract in January as the replacement for Wayne Rooney, has had a positive impact on the team but it was not quite enough to save them from Championship relegation.

The 42-year-old spoke to the media after Argyle’s season-ending 2-1 defeat by Championship title winners Leeds United at Home Park this afternoon, before setting off on the journey to see his family in Austria.

Muslic was asked during his Press conference whether he still expected to be at Argyle next season and he replied: “I will not answer this ques-tions, I’m empty.

“We are relegated now for seven, eight days. Believe me, I'm empty. I don’t have the power right now to think about the potential future because that takes a lot of focus, a lot of concentration, a lot of energy.

“I don’t have this energy right now. I need to go back to my family to see them, to recharge, to breath and then again we have enough time to think about the future.”

On what his plans were for now, Muslic said: “I will catch the train now, 6.30, towards London. I have my flight tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning.

“I'm here for four months and in this four months I saw my family for five days. That’s my priority right now, and for the rest we have all the time in the world”
