Medic has previously served as head coach at Burundi’s Club Flambeau du Centre, Royal Eagles and Tshakuma in South Africa, Messager in Burundi, Dynamos in Zimbabwe, King Faisal and Ashanti Gold in Ghana, and Royal Knights and Royal Sportive in South Africa and Ghana, respectively.
He also worked as assistant coach at South Africa’s Orlando Pirates in the capacity of assistant coach.
