Lazetić started his managerial career at Srem Jakovo of the Serbian League Belgrade in the summer of 2014. He would become an assistant to newly appointed Teleoptik manager Ivan Tomić in October 2015, alongside Dražen Bolić. The trio performed the same roles at Partizan between December 2015 and July 2016 when Tomić resigned from his position due to poor results. In October 2016, Lazetić took charge of the Partizan youth team with Bolić serving as his assistant. They won the league title in May 2017. In June 2018, Lazetić joined Miroslav Đukić's staff as an assistant at Partizan, replacing departed Andrija Delibašić. He also served as caretaker manager for the club in March 2019. The following month, Lazetić returned to Teleoptik as manager. In June 2020, Lazetić was appointed as manager of Serbian SuperLiga club Metalac Gornji Milanovac. He left them in November 2021 to take over at TSC. In June 2024, Lazetić left TSC and joined Maccabi Tel Aviv of the Israeli Premier League.
