Adin Osmanbasic, Eddie Lattimore follow Miron Muslic to Schalke
Coaches Adin Osmanbasic and Eddie Lattimore have been reunited with former Plymouth Argyle boss Miron Muslic at German Bundesliga 2 side Schalke.
Osmanbasic and Lattimore were brought to Argyle by Muslic as part of his backroom staff during his short stint in charge from January until the end of last season. Both had previously worked with him at Cercle Brugge in Belgium.

Today, Schalke confirmed in a post on X (Twitter) that Osmanbasic and Lattimore were joining the Gelsenkirchen-based club, as well as goalkeeping coach Volkan Unlu.
In response to that, Osmanbasic said: "Grateful for the opportunity to join the Schalke 04 coaching staff. Thank you to Miron Muslic, Frank Baumann (director of sport), and the entire club for the trust. Excited to get to work!"

He also made a post on X last night after his departure from Argyle, along with that of Lattimore, was confirmed, following the news that Damon Lathrope, Matt Bevans and Chris Douglas had joined new head coach Tom Cleverley's backroom staff.
Osmanbasic said: "Today, my time at Argyle came to an end. I want to thank all of the incredible players, staff, and supporters involved with the club. I'll continue to support from afar. I wish nothing but success for the club, and its new staff. I am sure Argyle will return to where it belongs!"
Lathrope, the former Torquay United midfielder, will be Cleverley's assistant head coach at Argyle, as he was at Watford last season, with Bevans as first team coach and Douglas as first team analyst.
Bevans guided Watford under-18s to the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup last season, assisted by Lloyd Doyley. They beat Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton along the way before eventually losing 1-0 to Manchester City in the last four of the competition.
