Miron Muslic (bs|Miron Muslić; born 14 September 1982) is an Austrian professional football coach and a former player who played as a forward.

Coaching career

On 14 July 2020, he was hired as a manager by Austrian Football Second League club Floridsdorfer AC.[1]

Muslic was brought in as assistant coach to Dominik Thalhammer at Cercle Brugge in 2021, and was promoted to the main first-team coaching role the following year, replacing Thalhammer in the hot seat on 19 September 2022.[2]

Helped by the goals of Japan international Ayase Ueda, Muslic steered Cercle from the relegation zone to a regular-season finishing position of eighth for that 2022-23 campaign, qualifying them for a streamlined version of the Belgian Pro League's European play-offs. They finished runners-up to Gent in these play-offs for the final European qualifying place, seeing them officially finish in sixth position.

With Ueda moving to Feyenoord, and Kevin Denkey promoted to become Muslic's first-choice striker, Cercle would qualify for the title play-offs for the first time,[3] going on to finish fourth for the 2023-24 season, their highest finish since 2008, qualifying them for Europe for the first time in 14 years, and only the fourth time ever.[4]

Early season struggles for the 2024-25 season did not clear, and after a 2-0 lead over bottom side Beerschot turned into a 3-2 defeat, Muslic was dismissed as Cercle coach on 2 December 2024.[5]
