Career

Playing career

Estrela Amadora (1996-1998). He then moved to Spain before ending his career at CD Leganés

(1998-1999).

Coaching career

Velić began his coaching career as assistant manager to

Sporting CP (2003-2004), before they returned for a second spell at AEK Athens

(2004-2005).

In the 2006-2007 season, Velić was hired as a scouter for

Hans Backe, he managed the Club as a head coach for three games (15/9/2006 to 6/10/2006 - 2 wins, 1 draw). The next season, Velić was appointed technical director of Panathinaikos. In the 2007-2009 period, with Velić as a technical coach next to head coaches José Peseiro and Henk ten Cate

club made its return to the Champions League group stages. During these two years, the club managed to reach its highest position ever in the UEFA team rankings (19th).

In March 2013, Velić replaced Georgios Paraschos as manager for Levadiakos.^[1] During his spell, he helped the club remain in the top flight of Greek football.

In January 2015, he was appointed head coach of Football League side Episkopi.^[2] From January onward, Velić helped the club recover an 8 point deficit to enter the relegation play-offs, where the club played to remain in the Division.

On August 5, 2015, Velić was appointed head coach of fellow

Cretan Football League club Ergotelis.^[3] He left in October, due to the club's poor financial situation, which left no room for transfers aligned to his instructions, as well as Ergotelis' rough start (1−1−2) during its 2015–16 Football League campaign.^[4]

In June 2019, Velić and Episkopi reached an agreement for his return to the club, aiming at bringing Episkopi to the highest tiers of Greek football. During the 2019-20 season, Velic led Episkopi to promotion with an undefeated league record, recording 11 wins, 5 draws, and 0 losses. Episkopi was the only Greek club to end the season undefeated. The following season, in 2020/21, Velic led Episkopi to a 2nd position league finish in the Greek Football League, resulting to a second consecutive promotion. Velic became one of the only head coaches in Greek football history to achieve multiple league promotions.
