Managerial career edit

Obad started off his managerial career in 2011, as an assistant to Mirza Varešanović at FK Velež Mostar. He left the club in April 2012 after Varešanović got sacked.

His first head coach managerial position was in 2012, when he became the new manager of the club he started playing football in, FK Lokomotiva Mostar.[6] In February 2013, Obad decided to leave Lokomotiva.[7]

In July 2013, he was appointed FK Igman Konjic manager.[8] He led the team for one and a half seasons in the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, before leaving the club due to poor results in September 2014.[9]

In the period between 2015 and 2017, Obad managed FK Blagaj from 2015 to 2017, but before that was caretaker manager of Velež after Dželaludin Muharemović was sacked.

In July 2017, he was once again appointed as the manager of Igman Konjic.[10] In April 2018, he got sacked after making bad results in the league.[11]

Most recently, from April to June 2018, Obad managed Second League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina - West club NK Iskra Bugojno.[12] On 30 June 2018, Obad left Iskra after failing to keep the club up in the First League of FBiH.
