He was appointed manager of Montrose in December 2005, but David Robertson was then brought in as co-manager in June 2006. Wolecki was unhappy with this arrangement and left the club in September 2006 after agreeing a settlement with the club.

Wolecki joined women's club Glasgow City as coach for the start of the 2007–08 season. He was later appointed to a full-time position with Glasgow City, becoming the first salaried coach of a women's football team in Scotland. Wolecki took sole charge of football affairs at City at the start of the 2011 season, when former manager Peter Caulfield refused an upstairs role. Caulfield subsequently joined rivals Celtic.

Wolecki left Glasgow City in July 2015, having guided the team to four consecutive league championships. After a brief spell at Edusport Academy, he joined Airdrieonians as the Youth Academy Director of Coaching in September 2015. After Gary Bollan left the club in December 2015, Wolecki was appointed head coach of Airdrieonians. He suffered a stroke in March 2016, having fallen ill during a match between Airdrie and Cowdenbeath. Danny Lennon was appointed acting head coach at Airdrieonians until the end of the 2015–16 season.

For the 2016–17 season, Kevin McBride was promoted to first team coach with Wolecki Black making a "staged return to work". However, in October 2016 both Wolecki Black and McBride left the Excelsior Stadium, with the Airdrie board looking to progress with a "more formal structured footing". During November 2016 it was announced in the press that Wolecki Black would be suing former club Airdrie for loss of income.
