Plymouth Argyle have started the search for their next head coach after Miron Muslic left last week to join German side Schalke.

Names such as Jack Wilshere, Rob Edwards, Ian Evatt and Michael Duff are being put forward by fans as possible options to succeed Muslic.

But Joe Bell from the Green and White podcast, which follows the ups and downs of Argyle, says stability is key after three different managers since Steven Schumacher left the club 18 months ago.

"When you think about the last couple of years, we had so much stability before Steven Schumacher left," Bell told BBC Spotlight.

"Since he departed for Stoke, we've lost all semblance of stability.

"It's our fourth search in a very short space of time for a head coach and we need to find somebody who's going to stick around."

"I hope it's a swift appointment, but it needs to be the right person," he added.

"Somebody who has promotion credentials in English football, preferably in this league, and maybe someone who isn't a flash name who won't be as attractive to other clubs when they're doing well at Argyle.

"If we can find that mix - and I don't know where we find them - but if we can get that together, we'll have found the right man."

We asked you for your views on who you would like to see take over at Plymouth Argyle after Miron Muslic's departure as head coach.

There were many names thrown into the hat, but some more often than others.

Here are some of the top names Argyle fans told BBC Sport they would like to see at Home Park.

Toots: How about Paul Wotton? Solid manager, knows Plymouth and has been around in his playing days.

Ben: I'd go for Paul Wotton if he's interested. Doing a decent job in the lower leagues and would show some loyalty.

Daryl: Luke Williams could be a contender. A promising, attacking manager looking to rebuild after not quite making it in the Championship with Swansea. Could be the man to get the best out of players like Rami Al Hajj and Michael Baidoo.

Simon: Give the job to Mr Argyle, Kevin Nancekivell. He is local, knows the club inside out & the area, exotic managers haven't done it in recent times!!!

Jacob: Rob Edwards would be the perfect man for the Argyle job. His modern football alongside his attacking focuses really reaches the consistency with Argyle's desires. We've played this type of football for many years now, from Ryan Lowe to Steven Schumacher - it worked.

John: Big mistake to not reappointed Steven Schumacher. Perhaps we can beg Bolton with the Schalke pay-off. Better option than an unknown or a big name mercenary. Option B... Mr Warnock.

Bruce: Neil Warnock. His CV and successful record in both getting promotions and avoiding relegation is unmatched by anyone else likely to apply.

Mark: We need a manager who is loyal first and foremost… give it to Joe Edwards with Nance beside him and with the Green Army behind them.

Dan: I think it's time for Joe Edwards to take the job. We need someone with a strong connection to the club. No more six-month managers.

Andrew: I'd like Paul Wotton to be given the role. Whilst he hasn't managed at the highest level he has got experience and is Plymouth through and through. Lots of Argyle fans seem to pour scorn on the idea but for me he's our man, no question.

Simon: I think we do best at Argyle when we go about our business quietly. So no 'big' names, thank you. Our most successful managers over the past 25 years (Paul Sturrock, Ian Holloway, Derek Adams, Ryan Lowe) have been good managers looking for the next step, rather than well-known managers on their way down.

Steve: I'd give Wayne Rooney another go, League Two would be easier to win a game in.

With head coach Miron Muslic set to leave the club - with German side Schalke looking like his new employers - who should Plymouth Argyle replace him with?

Do they need a big name, or someone who knows League One? Do they have to have an Argyle connection or should they come to the club with a clean slate?

The club has gone through a fair few head coaches since Steven Schumacher left towards the end of 2023 - first Ian Foster, then Wayne Rooney before being replaced by Muslic.

Should they just give the role to perennial caretaker manager and 'Mr Argyle' Kevin Nancekivell?

Plymouth Argyle centre-back Maksym Talovierov has been named in the Ukraine squad for their forthcoming international matches.

Ukraine take on Canada on 7 June before facing New Zealand three days later in end-of-season friendlies.

Argyle's 24-year-old record signing has won seven caps for his country since making his debut in March 2024.

He has yet to play for Ukraine since moving to Home Park in January after injury forced him to miss March's Uefa Nations League games with Belgium.

Plymouth Argyle head coach Miron Muslic says his side will "not roll out the red carpet" for title-chasing Leeds United on Saturday.

Argyle are all-but relegated from the Championship and face a Leeds team who know they will lift the title if they can win at Home Park.

Leeds are level on points with Burnley, but their superior goal difference means as long as they match the Clarets' result they will be crowned champions.

Meanwhile, Argyle need an almost impossible set of results if they are to stay up - they must beat Leeds and hope both Hull and Luton lose as well as requiring a 14-goal swing in goal difference.

But Muslic says his side's recent good form against promotion-chasing outfits stands his team in good stead.

"I think the top teams they just suit us, fit us," he told BBC Radio Devon.

"I think we should have confidence for a reason - Norwich, Coventry, Sheffield United - all the top teams that are far highly ranked than us, we managed not only to perform at a good level, we also managed in the end to grab the three points.

"The desire of Leeds to come here to win the game, to celebrate with the title, we don't have to speak about that, but we also have the desire to perform as strong as possible.

"We will not roll out the red carpet here for Leeds United, we will give them a proper fight."

Leeds United will battle for the title when they host Plymouth Argyle on Saturday (12:30 BST) for their final match of the season.

Leeds' superior goal difference means the currently hold top spot over rivals Burnley, but will need a victory to ensure they hold the trophy at the final whistle before ascending to the Premier League next season.

Argyle, on the other hand, find their fates heading in the opposite direction.

The visitors have been all but relegated to League One due to their poor goal difference and now compete to try and keep off the basement place currently held by Cardiff City.

• Plymouth Argyle are winless across their last 11 league games against Leeds United (D2 L9), losing each of their last five in succession whilst conceding 2+ goals in each.

• Leeds United have won each of their last four away league games against Plymouth Argyle, one more victory than across their prior 16 away meetings with the Pilgrims combined (W3 D4 L9).

• Plymouth have won four of their last six league games (L2), as many victories as across their prior 30 Championship matches combined (D11 L15). The Pilgrims are also looking to win four consecutive home matches in the second tier for the first time since April 2007.

• Leeds have lost each of their last two games on the final day of a league campaign, as many defeats as across their prior 15 such fixtures combined (W9 D4).

• Leeds United have won 28 league matches this season, their joint most in a league season along with the 2019-20 campaign. The 93 goals they've scored are also only bettered by the 98 they scored in the 1927-28 season.

Head coach Miron Muslic conceded Plymouth Argyle are already relegated despite their fate still not being officially confirmed following their victory over Preston North End.

"I feel empty and hearbroken, " Muslic told BBC Radio Devon, accepting a double-digit win over Leeds in their final game was not feasible.

"We gave it our all but it was not easy for the lads to go from the first whistle knowing Luton had scored this unbelievable goal in minute 90.

"It was a tough one to take and to be ready to give it our all one more time.

"We showed we have the right character but unfortunately it was not enough and we will get relegated. It's a sad day for all of us. It's over, unfortunately.

"We had an obligation as a team and staff - and to the Green Army, who needed to see their team fighting."
