After his Rouen player-coach tenure, including three French championships, Huras was named head coach of
Zürcher SC of the Swiss elite league
NLA in 1994, where he remained at the helm for two years. During the 1996-97 season, he was hired by fellow NLA side
HC Ambri-Piotta. Under his guidance, Ambri completed the 1998-99 regular season on top of the table before losing the finals to
HC Lugano. He received Switzerland Coach of the Year honors that season. Huras guided the team to semifinal appearances in 1997-98 and 1999-00 and also established the club on the international stage, winning two
IIHF Continental Cup titles (1998 and 1999) as well as the 1999
IIHF Super Cup with the team. Ambri and Huras did not come to terms on a new contract in 2000, so he accepted an offer to return to Zürcher SC for a second stint in charge at the club. At ZSC, he added to his title haul, winning the 2001 Swiss national championship and the
IIHF Continental Cup. He was sacked in November 2001, after suffering defeat in eleven of 23 games since the beginning of the 2001-02 campaign. Huras stayed in the Swiss NLA and was appointed head coach of HC Lugano prior to the 2002-03 season. He led the team to the Swiss championship his first year and to the finals in 2003-04. Huras was relieved of his duties during the 2006 playoffs quarterfinals and replaced by
Harold Kreis, who went on to win the title with the team. For a second time in his career, he took over head coaching duties at HC Ambri-Piotta in November 2006. He pulled the team away from the bottom of the
National League A and managed to keep Ambri in the league. After stints with the
Stavanger Oilers of Norway (2007–08) and
Villacher SV of Austria (2008–09), Huras was back in Switzerland, taking the helm of
SC Bern in 2009. He had immediate success, guiding SCB to the NLA title his first year. In his second season, Bern reached the semifinals. Huras was removed from the position in October 2011, his third year at the helm, because the club executives wanted a "more attractive style of ice hockey". Only a couple of days later, he returned for a second spell at HC Lugano. His tenure ended at the end of the 2012-13 season. In November 2013, Huras joined the coaching staff of
EHC München of the German
DEL, serving as an assistant to
Pierre Pagé. He was named head coach of then reigning German champion
ERC Ingolstadt for the 2014-15 season and guided the Panthers to another appearance in the DEL finals, where they fell short to
Adler Mannheim. Huras parted ways with Ingolstadt after one year and took the head coaching job at
Modo Hockey in Sweden's
SHL. Following a bad start to the 2015-16 season, collecting ten points from the opening 15 games and losing seven straight games, Huras and his staff were sacked in November 2015. In late September 2016, he was named head coach of
HC Fribourg-Gottéron of the NLA, replacing
Gerd Zenhäusern. Huras guided Fribourg to a semifinal appearance in the
Champions Hockey League in the 2016-17 season where they fell short to
Frölunda HC. In the NLA, his team did not qualify for the play-offs, Huras and Fribourg parted company after the season. ==Private life==
