Schalke coach looks to Bosnia bond in Bundesliga return
After three seasons in the second division, Schalke are back in the Bundesliga. Just a year ago, few would have guessed that their revival would largely be 'Made in Bosnia.'
Schalke's second-year coach, Miron Muslic, aims to step up the team's performance once more in the Bundesliga. After guiding Schalke back to the top flight after a three-season absence, Muslic now faces the challenge of securing a top-two finish to guarantee promotion. The key player in this endeavor is Bosnia captain and striker Edin Dzeko, who joined Schalke with a pay cut to help secure promotion.
Dzeko, who previously played in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg, has delivered six goals so far and expressed his enthusiasm for continuing his career at Schalke. Alongside Dzeko, central defender Nikola Katic, who has known Muslic from their time together at Plymouth, is expected to be a crucial player in the Bundesliga. Muslic, who joined Schalke from English club Plymouth Argyle, expressed his commitment to the club for the long haul and hopes to one day coach the Bosnia-Herzegovina national team.
