Coaching career

In 2010 Zekić was named the manager of the local football club in Zagreb, Maksimir, which he coached until 2013. One year later he went to Moldova, where he coached FC Sheriff-2 Tiraspol in 2014, after which he became the Sheriff Tiraspol manager. He won the double with Sheriff in the 2014–15 season, winning the Divizia Naţională and the National Cup.

On 1 September 2015, Zekić was named as Osijek manager in the Croatian First Football League, and signed three-year contract until June 2018. In the 2016–17 season, Osijek finished in the fourth position, being promoted to the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds. Osijek drew Santa Coloma and PSV Eindhoven. Osijek won hard opponent PSV with 2–0 on aggregate (0–1, 1–0), being promoted to the play-off round. On 29 March 2019, following the poor performance of the club, Zekić parted ways with Osijek.

On 30 April 2019, Zekić came back to Sheriff, becoming the club's new manager.[2]
