Đorić last coached in 2011 when he was head coach of the Serbia U17 national team. He resigned after public outrage at Serbia bowing out in the group stage of that year's under-17 championship.

Playing career

He made his professional debut in 1967 with Red Star Belgrade, where he remained for six seasons winning four championships and two cups.

At the beginning of the 1973–74 season, Đorić was transferred to Real Oviedo of Spain, where he finished his career in 1975.[1]
