During the late 1990s he became a coach in Germany becoming the assistant coach at Karlsruher SC in 1997 after coaching FC Alemannia Groß-Rohrheim and Amicitia Viernheim earlier.[3] In the following season he moved to SV Darmstadt 98 where he became the main manager. Until 2006 he will also be the manager of FC Carl Zeiss Jena, Fortuna Düsseldorf and SV Waldhof Mannheim. During the season 2007-08 he was coaching Zalaegerszegi TE in Hungary. In January 2011 he returned to Serbia and became the coach of SuperLiga club FK Borac Čačak. At start of the 2011-12 season he became the coach of FK Rad.[4]

Tenure in Bosnia

Radnik

He won the Bosnian cup with Radnik Bijeljina in 2015–16 season. This was clubs highest achievement in history.

Željezničar

2016–17 season

Petrović replaced Miloš Kostić after terrible start to 2016–17 season where the club was winless in 4 consecutive matches, 3 of which were lost (2 at home) and without scoring a single goal. Since Petrović arrived he guided the club to Europa League First qualifying round having lost only 2 games in the league out of 25 games played (scoring 2.16 goals per game).[5] At one point the club managed to stay top of the league for 5 weeks, but ultimately finished second overall due to a dubious penalty decision in injury time (game Radnik Bijeljina vs Zrinjski 1-2; while at the same time Sarajevo beating Željo in Sarajevo derby 1–0), allowing Zrinjski to overtake Željezničar and win the Bosnian championship; a first domestic title for Blaž Slišković, with Željezničar a point behind.[6] Throughout the league, Željezničar played simultaneously in the 2016–17 Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Cup where they were eliminated in the semi finals stage to the eventual Cup winner Široki Brijeg.

Under Petrović, Ivan Lendrić finished as top goal scorer of the league with 18 goals.

2017–18 season

Petrović received support to remain as Željezničar manager for the upcoming season.[7]
