Šmarda played the final match of his professional career in May 2008 and subsequently moved into coaching.[3]
Šmarda became a coach at Hradec in the Czech 2.

The duo left the club in June 2016.
In July 2017, Šmarda returned to Hradec as an assistant coach.[6] Šmarda then moved to Vysočina Jihlava on 2 January 2018 under manager Martin Svědík.[7] In November 2018, Svědík was fired and Šmarda took charge of the team on interim basis until 6 December 2018.[8] Later in the same month, Šmarda joined Slovácko once again under Svědík.[9]
In February 2020, he was reunited with Václav Kotal at Sparta Prague.[10] The duo left the club one year later, in February 2021.[11]
