In early 2015, Batak was appointed assistant manager to Alexandre Gama at Thai club Buriram United.[5] He switched to fellow Thai club Sisaket the following year.
In April 2017, Batak was appointed manager of Vojvodina.[1] He parted ways with the club on 30 June following a 2–1 home win over Ružomberok in the first leg of the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.[6]
After two seasons spent in Thailand, Batak returned to Serbian football on 25 February 2020, as a manager of Serbian SuperLiga club Radnički Niš.[7] He works with another UEFA Pro licensed coach Davor Berber who joined from AFC Champions League club Tai Po.
