In August 2019, Barać joined Bosnian team Igokea as an assistant coach. Occasionally, he was the interim head coach due to health issues of the Igokea head coaches Aleksandar Trifunović (October 2019) and Dragan Bajić (January 2022).[4][5][6][7] He left Igokea in June 2022.[8]

On 20 June 2022, Mega Basket hired Barać as their new head coach.[9]
