David Fox named Plymouth Argyle head of football operations

The appointments come almost a fortnight after Muslic said he wanted answers on who would take on the roles – which have been vacant for much of 2025.

“Following Neil Dewsnip’s departure we reviewed the structure of our football leadership department and spoke openly about our desire to appoint a sporting director,” chief executive Andrew Parkinson told the club website.

“Following further thought and advice from external consultants, introducing the role of head of football operations was better suited to the way we wanted our football leadership team to move forward.

“Although the process took longer than anticipated, we were intent on bringing in someone with not only the relevant skills and experience for the role, but someone who knows Argyle and Plymouth – someone who knows the intricacies of the club, our location, and our uniqueness. In David, we have exactly that.

“He is a firm fans’ favourite who knows the club well from his time here as a player, and we believe he is the perfect person to step into this role and lead our football operations forward.

“He will work closely with Tom, who we are also thrilled to bring to Argyle. He brings extensive recruitment experience and, having worked with Miron at Cercle Brugge, already understands the players who best fit his style.”
