On 14 May 2021, Jop was announced the interim assistant for the Ekstraklasa side Wisła Kraków to the interim manager Kazimierz Kmiecik, after Peter Hyballa had finished his coaching duties.[2]
On 2 December 2023, Jop's former teammate Radosław Sobolewski resigned from his position as manager of Wisła.
