of the season. The team finished last in their division. After taking part in national team scouting sessions during World Cup 1998, he signed a two-year contract with Yugoslav FA in August 2000. When Ilija Petković took the head coaching role for the first time, Bogićević became his assistant. Petković resigned in early 2001, but Bogićević stayed on. In December 2001 when Yugoslav/Serbo-Montenegrin FA was looking for a single national team coach to replace the 3-man coaching commission, Bogićević expressed strong interest in the position and was interviewed. Then YFA president Dragan Stojković publicly said Bogićević had a disadvantage compared to the other candidates due to his limited head coaching experience and a lack of bench results. However, just several days later, Dejan Savićević, was given the job despite having no prior coaching experience. When his contract with the FA expired in the summer of 2002, Bogićević, who by this time was in a role of observer, did not wish to renew it and left the national team. One of his most recent coaching stints was with Portuguese First division side Belenenses during the 2003/2004 season. He resigned at the end of the season. In 2010, Bogićević coached SC White Eagles from Paterson, New Jersey, a team that competes in the North Jersey Soccer League. In 2012, he joined Nyack College (NCAA Division II) Women's soccer staff as an assistant/technical advisor of Head Coach Samuel Oduro.
