He was also appointed as the head coach of the women's national team of North Korea in those years.[9]

PSL All Stars

In September 2016, Branislav was appointed as the head coach of the PSL Manila, a selection team composed mainly of Philippine Super Liga (PSL) players, that was set to participate at the 2016 FIVB Club World Championship. The management of the team was waiting for Branislav's availability for the replacement of the Japanese coach Shun Takahashi, who was reassigned as the team's first assistant coach. The team finished at 9th place after the championship.[10]

Foton Tornadoes

Branislav also took charge of the Foton Tornadoes, a club that plays in the Philippine Super Liga, after its former coach Fabio Menta was relieved from his post. His 30-day contract with the team began on October 8, 2016. His contract was then extended until the last day of the year. Branislav renewed his contract with Foton in January 2017.[11]

He led the team to its second championship title at the 2016 PSL Grand Prix, sweeping the finals against Petron.[12] In the 2017 season, however, the club finished with the bronze medal after losing to Petron in the semifinal round.[13][14] He left the team after his contract expired.
