In his second season in Munich, the club announced the release of Đorđevićs at the end of March 2018 despite leading the table and winning the cup. The reason for the separation in this supposedly satisfactory situation had been worsening communication problems and tensions between him and managing director Marko Pešić and sports director Daniele Baiesi since autumn , for whose advice on the structure of the Munich game Đorđević is said to have been little accessible. After the premature elimination from the 2017/18 EuroCup in the semifinals against Darüşşafaka Istanbul and after the second defeat in the Bundesliga in the game against second in the table Alba Berlin , the club decided to release Đorđević.
