Managerial career

After finishing his playing career, Memić started working as a manager in Željezničar. He was first an assistant manager, and then, in March 2006, he was promoted to the position of manager of Željezničar, after Ratko Ninković had resigned. As he was just a replacement, Memić led the team only until the end of the season.
He came back to Željezničar in 2009, where he was an assistant of Amar Osim, Hajrudin "Dino" Đurbuzović and Admir Adžem, before once again becoming the manager of Željezničar in December 2014 replacing Adžem. However, less than a month later, in January 2015, Memić was controversially sacked without a game as Željezničar's manager, and Milomir Odović was named the new manager of the club.
After Željezničar, Memić managed Travnik from 2015 until 2016. From August to November 2016, he was for a second time the assistant manager of Amar Osim, this time at Qatar Stars League club Al Kharaitiyat. Memić also managed Goražde in 2017 and once again Travnik in 2018. On 2 October 2018, he was named manager of First League FBiH club Metalleghe-BSI. He left Metalleghe on 31 December 2018.
In January 2019, Memić was for a third time appointed as an assistant manager at Željezničar, again under the management of Osim.
