Having joined the club as a relative unknown in English football from Belgian side Cercle Bruges, Muslic has now arguably led Argyle to the greatest win in their history.
A former refugee from war-torn Bosnia, Muslic made his name in his adopted homeland of Austria before leading Cercle Bruges to the Europa Conference League this season.
But he says all of those experiences pale into insignificance compared to the win over Liverpool.
“This is the biggest moment, so far, in my coaching career. No doubt,” the 42-year-old added.
“It’s the FA Cup, it’s Liverpool.”
But he says there is an even greater ambition on the horizon – guiding Plymouth to Championship survival.
“The biggest moment is yet to come at the end of the season when we are staying up,” he said.
“This is my goal, this is what I have on my mind, inside my soul, this is the big, big goal for Argyle and then this will be the next biggest moment in my career.
“We started this turnover in the 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’ and we did this.
“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.”
