Born in Kotor,[1] he played with the youth team of Grbalj where he played during the 2009-10 Montenegrin youth championship. After that season Vojvodina brought Šaleta to its youth team along with his brother Marko. During the winter break of the season 2011-12 he was promoted to the first team. In summer 2012 he was loaned to Montenegrin First League side Mladost Podgorica.[2]
After playing half a season in the First Macedonian Football League with Euromilk Gorno Lisiče, in summer 2014 he returned to Serbia this time to play with second tier side BSK Borča.[3] On 5 June 2015, he returned to Vojvodina, signing a 3-year deal with the club.[4] However, only few weeks later Šaleta terminated his contract with Vojvodina, and signed for Sutjeska Nikšić.[5] After only one season, Kordić started his third spell at Vojvodina, signing a 2+1⁄2-year deal.[6] However, only two months later, the contract was mutually terminated, and Kordić signed a one-year-deal with Montenegrin side Zeta.[7]
In June 2021, he signed with Russian club Chayka Peschanokopskoye. On 2 July 2021, Russian Football Union decided to relegate Chayka from second-tier FNL back to the third-tier PFL for the 2021–22 season for fixing games in the 2018–19 season. As foreign players are not allowed to play in the PFL, that meant a release from his contract with Chayka.[8]
