In 2016, he took charge of TP Mazembe, [5] securing four titles, including Linafoot, DR Congo Super Cup, Confederation Cup and CAF Super Cup.

His next stop was Tunisian club Étoile du Sahel, guiding them to the semi-finals of the 2017 CAF Champions League, followed by a stint with Kuwait SC starting from May 2018.

In January 2020, he assumed the role of manager for Sudan, [8] leading them to a second-place finish in their group during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification, and securing participation in the final tournament in Cameroon. However, disappointing performances in the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup and 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification, led to his dismissal in December 2021, despite the opportunity to lead Sudan during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

In April 2022, Velud was hired to coach Burkina Faso, where he led them to reach the round of 16 during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, before parting ways by mutual consent in February 2024. [9]
