New Plymouth Argyle head coach Miron Muslic says he has been impressed with the support he has had in his first few days in the job.

The 42-year-old Austrian has taken charge of the Championship's bottom side after Wayne Rooney left the club on 31 December.

Muslic was in the stands for Argyle's 1-0 FA Cup third round win at Premier League side Brentford before returning to Devon alongside members of the club's renowned fanbase.

"I'm here for 72 hours and I met a million people in the last 72 hours, but every time I had the feeling 'these are good people, these are honest, hardworking, straight people," he told BBC Sport.

"Maybe that's why I also felt immediately this connection, because I'm also trying to be hardworking, try to be honest, try to be straight, try to be open minded.

"I had a very interesting trip from London to Plymouth on the train for four hours with the Green Army. I know every single supporter in and out, but it was very important for me to be on that train.

"I was not expecting this, but at this moment I realised it means a lot to them.

"And it means a lot to me. This is now my new home, this is my club, these are my colours, this is also my patch and I'm here to give it my all."
