He took over as head coach of FC Côte Bleue in 2009. He lead the team to five successive promotions up to the Division d'Honneur, the sixth division of French football. He left the club in November 2016.[2] In August 2017 he was unveiled as the new Sporting Director of FC Martigues. One of his first orders of business was signing former Ligue 1 striker Paul Alo'o to the club.[3] In July 2019 Haroun was unveiled as the new assistant coach of SC Toulon.[4]

Haroun was named Technical Director of the Seychelles national football team in June 2021. He had a short stint as the team's manager during a friendly tournament in Comoros the following September.[5] In June 2022 it was announced that the Seychelles Football Federation had established the nation's first professional-quality football institute, the Institut Football Seychellois. Haroun was instrumental in its creation.[6]
