In the summer of 1997, following a brief spell at Vojvodina, Vanić moved abroad and signed with Spanish club Albacete. He spent the next three seasons there, before moving to Belgian side Lokeren. After a year at Daknamstadion, Vanić switched to fellow league club Gent. He amassed 77 appearances and scored 17 goals in the top flight of Belgian football between 2000 and 2003. Subsequently, Vanić briefly played for Chinese side Tianjin TEDA, before returning to his homeland and joining Borac Čačak in early 2004.
Shortly after retiring from playing, Vanić took over as manager of Radnički Nova Pazova in early 2010. He led the club to win the Serbian League Vojvodina in 2012, thus earning promotion to the Serbian First League.
In May 2015, Vanić became manager of Metalac Gornji Milanovac. He subsequently led the club to victory against Napredak Kruševac in the promotion playoffs, thus securing a spot in the 2015–16 Serbian SuperLiga.
In March 2024, Vanić was appointed as manager of UAE Pro League club Hatta.[1]
