In 1990, having retired from competition, Bajc made the unusual move to coach the Spanish national ski jumping team—a country not known for ski jumping. He relocated to Japan in 1994 to begin personally coaching Kazuyoshi Funaki, which led to Bajc coaching the Japanese national ski jumping team until 2002. Since then he has coached teams from the Netherlands, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Turkey. From 2014 to 2017 he coached the United States women's ski jumping team.
