At the same time he has also managed [[Kazakhstan national under-21 football team]].<ref>[http://sports.kz/news.php?type=small&id=0000014609&st=0000000010 New coach for Almaty] Sports.kz July 10, 2008</ref>

Storck has complained about the state of the [[Kazakhstan Premier League]] and the lack of cooperation he encountered from the local clubs' management.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[Reuters]]|title=Kazakhstan coach hits out at state of local game|url=http://football.uk.reuters.com/teams/t61/news/L41013493.php|date=2009-06-04|accessdate=2009-09-15}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref>

On 1 March 2010, Storck signed a new one-year contract as coach of [[Kazakhstan national football team]]. Viktor Katkov, vice-president of [[Football Federation of Kazakhstan]], said that "Our young team are progressing with every match, as shown by the games against Croatia and Ukraine at the end of 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying. Bernd's football philosophy is a modern one and we are sure it will promote further improvement." Storck added: "I am proud to have the opportunity to continue my work with the Football Federation of Kazakhstan. We have made progress and I am keen to continue working with the team. It is interesting for me to see young footballers develop, and the whole of Kazakh football is developing right now and its status in Europe improving. I hope our work together will bear fruit and that the team can do well for the fans in EURO 2012 qualifying."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=kaz/news/newsid=1463287.html|title=Storck signs on again with Kazakhstan|date=1 March 2010|publisher=[[UEFA.com]]|accessdate = 20 July 2015}}</ref>

He was sacked on October 16, 2010 after a poor start to [[UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying|Euro 2012 Qualifying]]. [[Kazakhstan national football team|Kazakhstan]] lost to [[Turkey national football team|Turkey]], [[Austria national football team|Austria]], [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]]. His final game was a 3-0 defeat against [[Germany national football team|Germany]]. Sayan Khamitzhanov, general secretary of the [[Football Federation of Kazakhstan]] said that "We can see the team progressing because young players are gaining important experience. However, he had a task to collect at least three points in four matches and that was not done. That is why the federation has decided to turn to another coach."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/news/newsid=1546550.html|title=Storck sacked as Kazakhstan coach|date=15 October 2010|publisher=[[UEFA.com]]| accessdate = 20 July 2015}}</ref>

Storck was the coach for the [[Hungary national under-19 football team|Hungary national under-20 team]] at the [[2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup]].

However, in the round of 16, they were knocked out by eventual winners [[Serbia national under-20 football team|Serbia]] in a 2-1 extra-time loss.

On 15 November 2015, Storck-led Hungary qualified for the [[UEFA Euro 2016]] after 44 years when Hungary was qualified for the [[UEFA Euro 1972]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/finals/news/newsid=2291499.html#hungary+bounce+back+long+finals+wait|title=Hungary bounce back to end long finals wait|date=15 November 2015|publisher=[[Uefa.com]]}}</ref> Hungary beat [[Norway national football team|Norway]] in the first leg of the [[UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-offs]] 1-0. The only goal was scored by [[László Kleinheisler]], who had not played a single match in the [[2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság I|2015–16]] season in his club [[Videoton FC|Videoton]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/qualifiers/season=2016/matches/round=2000447/match=2018077/index.html|title=Kleinheisler gives Hungary win in Norway|date=12 November 2015|publisher=[[Uefa.com]]}}</ref> On the return match, Storck's team beat Norway 2-1 and qualified for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/qualifiers/season=2016/matches/round=2000447/match=2018081/index.html|title=Hungary bound for finals after Norway win|date=15 November 2015|publisher=[[Uefa.com]]}}</ref>

One day after the successful playoff match against Norway, Stork extended his contract with the [[Hungarian Football Federation]] until the end of the [[UEFA Euro 2016]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nemzetisport.hu/magyar_valogatott/valogatott-az-eb-vegeig-storck-marad-a-szovetsegi-kapitany-2450417|title=Válogatott: az Eb végéig Storck marad a szövetségi kapitány!|date=16 November 2015|publisher=[[Nemzeti Sport]]}}</ref>

In an interview with the Hertha BSC's official website, [[Pál Dárdai]], former head coach of Hungary, said that he built the base of the team, while Storck added his part to reach the finals of the UEFA Euro 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nemzetisport.hu/magyar_valogatott/valogatott-alapot-epitettem-storck-hozzatette-a-magaet-dardai-2450405|title=Válogatott: alapot építettem, Storck hozzátette a magáét – Dárdai|date=16 November 2015|publisher=[[Nemzeti Sport]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.herthabsc.de/de/teams/interview-pal-dardai-nach-ungarn/page/9497--45-45-.html|title=STOLZ WIE PÁL!|date=16 November 2015|publisher=HerthaBSC.de}}</ref>
 
In an interview with the Hungarian [[Nemzeti Sport]], Storck was asked what his best decisions were since his appointment. He said that he  would have liked to attack against [[Romania national football team|Romania]] in the [[UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group F]] match at the [[Groupama Arena]], [[Budapest]], to show his philosophy but he decided to defend because he did not have enough time before the match to rebuild the team. He also pointed out that the fact that he had nominated both [[Gábor Király]] and [[Richárd Guzmics]] in the starting line-up had been a good decision.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nemzetisport.hu/magyar_valogatott/ns-nemzeti-storck-bogdan-remalma-hetfo-2456851|title=NS: Nemzeti Storck; Bogdán rémálma – hétfő|date=21 December 2015|publisher=[[Nemzeti Sport]]}}</ref>
