Marítimo, enjoying six steady seasons in which he inclusively played in the 1998–99 edition of the UEFA Cup, losing to Leeds United on penalties.
After two years as an assistant – he also acted as scout and match observer – he was re-signed on 13 December 2009,[2] replacing Manuel Machado who was recovering from surgery-related complications.
At the end of the 2009–10 season, Jokanović definitely replaced Machado at Nacional's helm, profiting from the opportunity by signing several of his former compatriots (one Montenegrin, one Slovene and three Croats), as his teams rarely fielded more than two or three Portuguese players.
Jokanović returned to União da Madeira on 11 November 2011 (after 18 years), being appointed head coach at the second-level club.
[6] In 2014, Jokanović was appointed manager of Angolan Girabola club FC Bravos do Maquis, and was sacked before the last game of the season with his team in sixth place.
