Osmanović spent all of his playing career at Zagorje, formerly known as Proletarec, with whom he was the champion and thus qualified for the first season of the Slovenian PrvaLiga after Slovenia gained independence. With Gorica, he became the runner-up of the 1999–2000 season of the Slovenian PrvaLiga, entered the semi-finals of the 1999–2000 Slovenian Football Cup and played four matches in the UEFA Europa League, formerly known as the UEFA Cup, making it one of the club's most successful seasons. With Korotan, he won the Winter Futsal All Star League 2003 and entered the semi-finals of the 2002–03 Slovenian Football Cup. With Dravograd, he became the runner-up of the 2003–04 Slovenian Football Cup. He also worked with other managers, including Stanko Poklepović, to whom he was the assistant coach at Celje before taking over the position of head coach after Poklepović's departure from the club. He was also one of the first ten managers from Slovenia to receive the UEFA Pro coaching licence.
