Zieliński later took over the manager role at many Polish clubs, such as Korona Kielce, GKS Bełchatów, Górnik Łęczna, Groclin Dyskobolia, and Polonia Warsaw.

On 5 June 2009 he took over Lech Poznań, where he won the league in his first season with the team. After crashing out of Champions League qualifications in the third round, Zieliński led the team to the top of their Europa League group table after the first two games. However, Lech was underperforming in the league, with the team temporarily stranded at the very bottom of the table. On 2 November 2010, he was dismissed.

On 22 March 2011, he returned to Polonia Warsaw. After a two-year hiatus, he returned to Polish football as a manager on 10 November 2021, taking charge of Cracovia for a second time in his career.[2]
