The new coach of the "black-and-whites" was working as the secretary of the national team of FYR of Macedonia up to June, 2015.
Before that, he coached "Krka" from the city of Novo Mesto, Slovenia twice, "Olimpija" from the city of Ljubljana, and "Lieatuvas Ritas".
While staying in the US, Džikić spent 2 years as the assistant coach of Minnesota Timberwolves.
In the period from 1999 up to 2005 he was a sub-coach of the BC "Partizan NIS" Belgrade, as the assistant to Duško Vujošević.
In his career, he has won European Challenge Cup, 4 championship titles in Slovenia, and 2 National cups, also in this country.
As the assistant coach in BC "Partizan NIS", he won 4 titles of the State championship and 2 National cups.
The management of BC "Partizan NIS" Belgrade published a statement on the website giving their thanks to Petar Božić for his service for the club, and stated that their doors will always be open for him.
