In 2013, Marcenaro worked as Diego Aguirre's assistant at Al-Rayyan. [8] He also worked with Aguirre at Al-Gharafa in the following year, and was Sergio Markarián's assistant at the Greece national team in 2015. [9]

In June 2018, after more than two years of inactivity and after working as an Uber driver, [10] Marcenaro rejoined Miramar for a fourth spell. [11] In August 2019 he took over Cerrito, [12] and led the club back to the top tier in the 2020 season. [10]
