In the 2019–20 season, he led the team to their 14th Ekstraklasa title.[1] He was dismissed in the following season, after quickly dropping out of a UEFA Champions League qualifying and the league defeat at Górnik Zabrze.[2]
On 13 December 2021, he was once again announced as the manager of Legia, following Marek Gołębiewski's resignation a day prior after a defeat to Wisła Płock, which saw Legia drop to the bottom of the league.[3] In his first match after his return, Legia defeated Zagłębie Lubin 4–0 and left the relegation zone.[4] He successfully led Legia away from relegation and finished 10th, eleven points clear of the relegation zone, winning 3–0 against Cracovia on the last match day.[5] On the same day, Vuković left his role as Legia's manager.[6]
On 27 October 2022, he replaced Waldemar Fornalik as the manager of Piast Gliwice.[7]
