Zoran Đorđević was the head coach of Bangladesh national football team with whom he became champion at 2010 South Asian Games.
He led Bangladesh to their first gold medal in 11 years at this competition, creating history by setting two new records: 4-0 victory vs. Afghanistan is the biggest winning margin in the final in 26 years history of this competition and becoming champion without a single goal conceded in the tournament. Before this current role he was the head coach of Churchill Brothers SC in the Indian Professional League called as I-League. Zoran Đorđević is the first successful foreign coach to become champion of India under whom Churchill Brothers SC won I-League 2008-2009, their first national league title in club history, after finishing as runners-up on 4 previous occasions. He is also the first foreigner to receive the prestigious S. A. Rahim Trophy for the best coach of the year award from the All India Football Federation. FIFA and President Sepp Blatter sent a congratulation letter to coach Zoran Đorđević for this achievement. Additionally he led the club to become state champions of Goa and reached qualification for the AFC Champions League for the first time.

On June 9, 2007, Đorđević signed a contract with IPL club F.C. Zob Ahan for the 2007–08 season following the departure of Rasoul Korbekandi who resigned due to health issues. He was sacked in October 2007 following unsatisfactory results in the IPL 2007/08 season. Coach Zoran removed from the starting lineup some experienced players who did not fit into his concept and promoted from the youth team a 17-year-old goalkeeper Mohammad Bagher Sadeghi and 16-year-old Mohsen Mosalman who became the youngest player ever to score a goal against Persepolis F.C. - the most successful and biggest club in Iran. His disagreements with the club management over player selection led to his departure from the club, claiming he wanted to build a champion team at a club which never finished higher than 5th position in the Iranian League. After coach Zoran's departure, in the very next season Zob Ahan club won the national cup which was their second trophy in club history and narrowly lost the league on the final match of the season, finishing 2nd on goal difference. Many in Esfahan today praise Zoran for his farsighted vision and his contribution of launching the careers of talented young players who reached the Iran national team. Tomislav Savic, the former goalkeeper coach of Atletico Madrid who was brought to the club by head coach Zoran, received the best goalkeeper coach award in Iran in 2008–09 and still remains with the club into his fourth season.
On February 5, 2007, Đorđević was appointed head-coach of UAE 2nd Division side Al-Rams. In the first disastrous half of the 2006–07 season, the club was at the bottom of the standings with only 1 point and had not registered a single win (15 matches, 0 wins, 1 draw, 14 losses) which led to the dismissal of their Egyptian coach. After coach Zoran's arrival in mid-season, against all the odds he managed to revitalize the team (5 wins, 2 draws, 8 losses, 17 points). He created a sensational result when with the bottom club Al-Rams won 4:3 against the league leaders Ajman Club who were until then favourites for promotion to UAE Premier League.
