Schmid was the assistant coach for the reserve team of Austria Wien in the 2007–08 season.[2] However, during the winter break, he took over as head coach of Schwanenstadt 08 and was there until the end of the season.[3] After his coaching stint at Schwanenstadt 08, he became assistant coach at Wiener Neustadt.[2] He left Wiener Neustadt to return to Austria Wien where he became assistant coach to the first team.[2] He became assistant coach of 1. FC Köln after the 2012–13 season.[4] He has had talks with Austria Wien about the vacant head coach's job.[4] However, Köln refused to release him.[5]
He was named the head coach of Köln on 9 November 2019 but never managed a game and Markus Gisdol took over nine days later.[6][7]
On March 6, 2023, Austrian club Wolfsberger AC appointed Schmid as their head coach following his spell at Austria Wien.[8]
During his current spell at Wolfsberger AC Schmid has utilised both a 3-4-1-2 and a 4-3-3 formation,[9] the club performed well in Schmid's opening set of fixtures, however, as of December 2023 the club is on a run of just three wins in their last nine games.[10]
