Schalke have appointed Plymouth Argyle boss Miron Muslic as their head coach on a two-year deal.

The Pilgrims said on Wednesday that the 42-year-old Bosnian-born Austrian would not return to the club after the summer break.

Muslic replaced former England captain Wayne Rooney as Argyle boss in mid-January, with Plymouth bottom of the Championship.

He was unable to stop the club from being relegated from the second tier, despite masterminding a famous FA Cup win over Premier League champions Liverpool.

Muslic joins a Schalke side who finished 14th in the German second tier this season - the club that was a regular in the Champions League and Europa League for the first two decades of this century will start a fourth season in the past five outside of the Bundesliga.
