In 2010/2011, Vladan was Director of Association of basketball coaches for the Voivodina region of Serbia as part of the Serbian Association of Basketball Coaches where he developed educational programmes for more than 400 coaches of all levels.

Warwick Cann will be working closely with Vladan on the development of elite basketball players in the UK and he commented on the appointment: "The Performance Pathway Manager position is another step in the right direction for both British Basketball and England Basketball.
"Vladan will bring good coaching skills and program development expertise from his experiences in Serbia and in the UK. We have a huge task ahead of us still to reach our goals but Vladan will certainly be a huge help to our national system and specifically the England talent pathway."
