Month later, he took the coaching position in the Ukrainian team Politekhnika-Halychyna.[3] He stayed there for one and a half season.

On November 26, 2014, he returned to Igokea to be the team's new head coach; he already had short stint coaching Igokea in 2007.[4]

On December 8, 2017, he became a head coach of Macedonian basketball team MZT Skopje.[5]He left MZT on April 3, 2018.[6]
