to, at the time, Croatian 1. HNL club Šibenik. After Šibenik, he did a half-season in Samobor, which was then in the 2. HNL, and then returned to Mostar. Then Džidić became manager of HNK Cim and won first place in the Second League of Herzeg-Bosnia, without losing a game. From Cim he went back to Široki Brijeg and in one season won two the First League of Herzeg-Bosnia. After that he was named manager of Zrinjski Mostar. Džidić for the first time led Zrinjski in the 1997–98 First League of Bosnia and Herzegovina play-offs. From the First League of Herzeg-Bosnia, Zrinjski and Široki Brijeg were put in two groups where they waited their respective opponents of each group, for Sarajevo and Čelik Zenica. Zrinjski in the final competition suffered two defeats and failed to qualify for the play-offs final. In 2003, Džidić came back to Zrinjski but shortly after got sacked due to poor results. In 2004, he once again came back to Zrinjski. That proved to be the right choice, since Džidić led the Zrinjski teem to win first place in the Bosnian Premier League in the 2004–05 season, with it going down in history as the first title in Zrinjski's history for the club's one hundredth anniversary. After leaving Zrinjski, he worked as manager at Ljubuški and Redarstvenik Mostar. Džidić then decided to end his managerial career, working only as head of the youth football schools of, first Široki Brijeg, and then Zrinjski.
