He started as a manager in 2006, with only 19 years. He led the youth team of Dinamo Zagreb in 2014, while later he became the manager of the U17 team.

In 2017, he went to HNK Gorica, where, at first, he served as an assistant manager, but in February 2018, he was named the head coach of the club. Managing Gorica, he won the 2017–18 Croatian Second Football League.[1] In June 2018, he left Gorica and became the assistant manager of Legia Warsaw under the coaching staff of Dean Klafurić.
