In January 2014, Velić began working as a project manager for integration projects within Växjö Municipality. In August 2015, he was hired by OnePartnerGroup as a salesman and later customer manager.[2]
Retiring at the end of 2016, Velić was hired as assistant coach of Thomas Askebrand at his last club Östers IF and also head coach of the club's U21 team.[3] Beside his duties at Östers, he also played a season with Swedish amateur club, Åryds IK, in 2017 together with his former teammate Patrik Bojent.[4]
On 29 July 2019, he was appointed interim head coach of Östers after Christian Järdler was fired.[5] Velić avoided relegation from Superettan and was rewarded with a permanent two-year contract with an option for one further year on 22 November 2019.[6] He left Öster at the end of the 2021 season.[7]
