Mitrovic, who took over the French representative Monaco in a lower league in 2014-15, took the team to the top classification by becoming the champion in his first year. Zvezdan Mitrovic, who created a competitive team in Monaco, also started to make a name for himself on the European stage. He won the French ProA League Regular Season title three times, and the French Leaders Cup title three times, in the ProA League in 2016, 2017 and 2018, with AS Monaco, and was named the coach of the year for three consecutive seasons.

He got the chance to take part in the EuroLeague stage with the ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne Basket, which he coached for two consecutive seasons. In 2020, he reached the final of the French Leaders Cup and was named coach of the year in France once again in the same season.
