In November 2011, Nouri became part of the coaching staff of VfB Oldenburg.[3] He then became manager of the club between 22 April 2013 and 30 June 2014.[4] He managed the last seven matches of the 2012–13 season and finished with a record of three wins, two draws, and two losses.[5] After the following season, Oldenburg finished in third place with a record of 17 wins, nine draws, and eight losses.[6] In July 2014, Nouri became part of the coaching staff at Werder Bremen serving as an intermediary between first team coach Robin Dutt and reserve team coach Viktor Skrypnyk.[7]

On 25 October 2014, Nouri succeeded Skrypnyk as manager of the reserve team[8] while Skrypnyk became manager of the first team after the dismissal of Dutt.[9]

He was hired by FC Ingolstadt on 24 September 2018.[15] Two months later, he was sacked.[16]

On 11 February 2020, he took over Hertha BSC on an interim basis after his stint as assistant manager under Jürgen Klinsmann.[17] He was replaced by Bruno Labbadia on 9 April 2020.[18]

gollark: Which is correct, though?
gollark: Those are literally the complements of each other, so you can't have one matter and the other not matter.
gollark: I cannot, say, begin taking public transport 50% more, and immediately make everyone else do so.
gollark: Yes. Which is nevertheless not hugely large.
gollark: Collective actions would. Your individual action won't do much unless you somehow simultaneously convince everyone else.
