Jakarta - Plymouth Argyle manager Miron Muslic "ate nachos and drank fanta" to celebrate his team's stunning FA Cup win over Liverpool at Home Park Stadium on Sunday.
Plymouth took full advantage of Arne Slot's rotation at Liverpool, which was without a number of its star players, including Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.
Muslic instructed his players to defend solidly and this strategy paid off after Ryan Hardie scored a penalty in the 53rd minute.
"It's a day for Argyle, a day for Plymouth. They deserve it and I want them to give everything to celebrate it," Muslic, who replaced Wayne Rooney in January, was quoted as saying by AFP on Monday.
"I would go home and rewatch the game, eat nachos and drink Fanta. It was so boring to me," he added.
Masterminding a famous win over Liverpool while battling to lift Plymouth off the bottom of the Championship was no small feat for Muslic, who was a refugee from war-torn Bosnia as a child.
Muslic was forced to move to Austria at the age of nine, leaving his hometown of Bihac after the town was besieged by Serbian forces in 1992.
