In 2007, he returned to his former club Rosario Central, and in 2008 he took over as manager of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata. On 2 December 2009, the coach has quit Gimnasia and was replaced by Pablo Fernández.[2] In 2010, Madelón coached Rosario Central again, but could not help the team avoid relegation.
