In 1998–99's Mallorca, Stanković contributed with four La Liga goals in 36 matches and several assists as the Balearic Islands side finished third and qualified to the UEFA Champions League.[2] He scored in the subsequent third qualifying round against Molde FK through a penalty, but the 1–1 home draw eliminated the hosts on the away goals rule.[3]
After being an instrumental unit in helping Atlético promote from Segunda División in the 2001–02 season,[4] Stanković retired at the end of 2004–05 at the age of 34, following a spell with Catalonia's UE Lleida also in that tier.[5] He later worked as an assistant manager to former Mallorca teammate Paco Soler, first in S.C. Beira-Mar (Portugal)[6] then lowly CD Atlético Baleares.[7]
As a head coach, Stanković was in charge of several teams in his country.[8] He moved back to Spain in 2020, after being named manager of Segunda División B side San Fernando CD.[9]
