Coaching career

Between 2005 and 2010, Kostić was an assistant coach for Lottomatica Roma (Italy), Dynamo Moscow (Russia), and Crvena zvezda (Serbia); all under head coach Svetislav Pešić.

In April 2018, when Montenegrin coach Dejan Radonjić took over the Bayern Munich first team, Kostić advanced into his coaching team. On 7 January 2020, Bayern Munich parted ways with Dejan Radonjić and appointed Kostić as the new head coach for the rest of the 2019–20 season.[1]

On 7 June 2023, Kostić signed as the head coach of Juventus Utena of the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL).[2]
