In late 2007, upon recommendation by Ivan Ljubičić, he became the coach of Dinara Safina, who would score good results in the early 2008 season, winning the German Open and placing runner-up in the French Open. After the 2008 French Open, Krajan was joined by Dejan Vojnović, retired Croatian Olympic sprinter, who is now Safina's fitness coach.
