Chosen as Gor Mahia boss in 2012, he vowed to end the clubs 18-year wait to win the Premier League trophy. For winter 2012, Logarušić went to his native Croatia for a holiday and was expected to be back for the pre-season training before the new season. However, in another holiday in the summer, he went to Croatia again but stayed there much longer than expected without informing the Gor Mahia board about the situation; he was relieved of his duties in June 2013 after he returned. In his defense, Logarušić demurred that he did not have a work permit and lived in Nairobi on a tourist visa. Secondly, he raised issue about his evident lack of formal contract with the Nairobi-based team. Female fans criticized the board for his dismissal shortly after as well.
Simba
After leaving Kenya, he was offered a relatively high salary from Simba SC to coach them and took the offer. When he got Simba SC good results, the Tanzanian outfit bought him a house overlooking the beachfront. Unfortunately, he could not speak Swahili which hindered him from communicating fluently with the Tanzanian press. Half a year later, his contract was cancelled. Logarušić demanded 3.6 million Tanzanian shillings from Simba SC as requital for the club unprocedurally cancelling his contract. Still, the club refused to pay him as they said the amount charged was too exorbitant and that he had made a wrongful claim.
Back in 2015, the well-traveled coach was selected as coach for AFC Leopards of the Kenyan Premier League. Afterward, he parted ways with them when he sent a text message to them stating that he quit the club as 'he was forced to go back to Croatia because no one was taking care of his rent' and that he was evicted from his apartment. A year later, ahead of the 2017 Ghanaian Premier League, he was appointed boss of AsanteKotoko which was the third time he managed in Ghana. To incentivize him, the Ghanaian side bestowed a new car on him a month into the new season. As Asante Kotoko's manager, he invariably used the 3-5-2 formation which exasperated the fans. Using that formation, he got them 10 points in 4 games and temporarily placed them second in the table. Fired by Asante in April 2017 after winning five out of eleven games, Zdravko labelled the Kotoko management as 'liars'.
