Managerial career

Just like his active career, Tarasiewicz started his managing career at Śląsk Wrocław. After 2 years, where he led the club to the II liga, he resigned due to conflicts with the club's then president Edward Ptak.
He went on to coach Jagiellonia Białystok, but was dismissed before the end of the season due to poor results.
On 19 June 2007, he yet again signed a contract with Śląsk Wrocław. In 2008, he led the club back to the highest Polish football league, the Ekstraklasa, making him the first manager in the club's history, who promoted twice with his team. On 22 September 2010, he was dismissed from his position due to a poor start to the 2010–11 Ekstraklasa season.
On 7 November 2011, he signed a contract with ŁKS Łódź.
