Žerić made his debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in a September 1997 World Cup qualification match away against Croatia and has earned a total of 2 caps, scoring no goals. His second and final international was a November 1997 friendly match away against Tunisia.[3]

Managerial career

Žerić had worked as an assistant to manager Velimir Stojnić at Rudar Prijedor and temporarily took over when Stojnić was sacked in March 2013.[4] In September 2015, he earned his UEFA coaching license.[5]
