Muslic, who joined Argyle as a relative unknown in English football from Belgian side Cercle Bruges, has now possibly led the club to its greatest success in history.
Muslic, a former refugee from war-torn Bosnia, rose to prominence in his adopted homeland of Austria before leading Cercle Bruges to the Europa Conference League this season.
But he thinks all of those events pale in comparison to the victory over Liverpool.
“This has been the pinnacle of my coaching career thus far. “No doubt,” the 42-year-old added.
“It’s the FA Cup, it’s Liverpool.”
However, he believes there is an even larger goal on the horizon: steering Plymouth to Championship survival.

“The biggest moment is yet to come at the end of the season when we are staying up,” he told me.
“This is my aim, this is what I am thinking about, inside my soul, this is the huge, major objective for Argyle, and this will be the next biggest milestone in my career. Reported By BBC News.
“We started this turnover in half-time against Burnley after being 5-0 down, and my message to the lads was ‘it takes a lot of courage to go outside and finish the game, and if we can manage this, we won’t change the result, but we will make a step forward, and this step forward will help us for the next challenging days and weeks,’ which we did.
“We followed just a couple of days later at Sunderland, a week later West Brom and now Liverpool.
“It’s a hell of a task in front of us, no doubt, but I think we are ready to take this challenge.”

“It’s a hell of a task in front of us, no doubt, but I think we are ready to take this challenge.”
The outcome was unexpected, but Argyle chairman Simon Hallett anticipated it.
Hiring a relatively unknown manager who had never coached in England before was viewed as risky by some, but the Argyle owner believes Muslic has the credentials to improve his club.
“We knew how good he was because we can look at the facts and we knew the impact that he had when he was a coach at Cercle Bruges,” Hallett added.
“Our data people had conducted significant research on him, and we used an external data service to examine the influence he had on Cercle Bruges.
“It’s really difficult to disaggregate managers’ budgets from how good they are, but using data in the proper way you can now see the impact that they have had over and above the budget they had to spend.
