Managerial career

After retiring as a player, Hantz took the managerial reins at Sochaux. He was appointed head coach of Le Havre on 18 December and concluded his tenure when his contract expired on 30 June 2010.

On 20 May 2010, Hantz succeeded Faruk Hadžibegić as the manager of SC Bastia.

In January 2016, he assumed the role of Montpellier's head coach, following the joint leadership of Pascal Baills and Bruno Martini. Under his guidance, Montpellier secured their place in Ligue 1, finishing 12th in the 2015–16 campaign.
