Coaching and Television
On his retirement as a player, Iwan embarked on a coaching profession, for the first few years with a junior team in Wisła Kraków, leading him to the assistant position of the first team between 1999 and 2001 (Adam Nawałka followed by duet Orest Lenczyk and Waldemar Fornalik). In Zagłębie Lubin he was again as assistant to Adam Nawałka, however, they were released only after five months of working. In 2003, Iwan leaped at the opportunity to lead a team, fourth league club Okocimski KS Brzesko. He worked there for two years until his dismissal in 2005, after a series of defeats. Prior to that, Okocimski Brzesko had been close to promotion in 2004, but lost in the final matches of playoff to Kmita Zabierzów. Iwan managed two more teams, Płomien Jerzmanowice (fifth league, 2005–06) and Wiatra Ludźmierz (junior team, 2006) until his coaching career was finally brought to a close.
In the last years, Iwan has made regular appearance as football expert to commentate on the Polish Ekstraklasa. Iwan's biography under the title "Spalony" has been released in 2012.
