He coached the Yugoslav team at the Universiade in Zagreb, the Yugoslav amateur national team, and the Yugoslav team at the Mediterranean Games.[3] With the U-21 Yugoslav team he won silver at the UEFA European Championship when they lost against Russia in Sevastopol, and then, he was with the main Yugoslav team when the country got disqualified due to UN economic sanctions imposed due to Yugoslav wars which left Yugoslav team unable to play the tournament they archived to qualify ahead of Denmark, which went instead and curiously, won the tournament.

Then, he coached Bahrain on their 1994 Asian Games and Gulf tournaments, and also worked at club level in Japan, Kuwait, Algeria and Bahrain.[3] However, it all started when he got his coaching license and was brought by FK Zemun to replace Stjepan Bobek in a time when the club had fallen to the Serbian Republic League, what was a third level at backthen Yugoslav league system. He stayed in Zemun 8 years and brought emun back to the top of Yugoslav football.[3]
