As a trainer and functionary

After the end of his active career, Buvač was head coach of SC Neukirchen from 1998 until his former teammate Jürgen Klopp , who had switched to the coaching bench at Mainz 05 a few months earlier, brought him back to Mainz as an assistant coach during the summer break in 2001 .

Trivia

On August 13, 2013, Buvač was introduced as the coach of the Republika Srpska national team after the Bosnian-Herzegovinian football association NFSBIH approved their application to host friendly matches against FIFA members. At the end of the year the first game against Serbia should take place in Banja Luka . However, on December 16, 2013, FIFA banned the game from being held.
