In March 2015, Kuzmanović was hired by the

Serbian Basketball Federation (KSS), under the presidential term of Dragan Đilas, to be the director of all Serbia men's national teams, including the full squad, under-20s, under-19s, under-18s, under-17s, under-16s, and university team. Kuzmanović's hiring took place in the wake of the KSS electoral delegate assembly, held in Niš in February 2015 during the Serbian Cup final tournament, that saw Đilas re-elected as KSS president and Igor Rakočević elected as one of the vice-presidents, replacing Dejan Bodiroga at the job.[3] It was the newly-elected vice-president Rakočević, put in charge of men's basketball at the KSS, who would hire his former KK Crvena zvezda and KK Budućnost
teammate Kuzmanović for the men's teams director job.

In parallel with the KSS job, Kuzmanović worked as a basketball player agent as well as TV pundit on the United Group-owned Sport Klub's EuroLeague broadcasts.

He left the KSS post in September 2017.[4]

In November 2021, Kuzmanović and Luka Spasovski started a basketball-themed podcast named Košarkaški podcast sa Lukom i Kuzmom.[5]
