Back to Atlético Baleares shortly after his dismissal, Melgarejo worked as an assistant before being named manager of the club on 30 November 2017, after the departure of Armando de la Morena.[6] The following 4 February, he was himself dismissed after eight matches.[7]
After spending some time away from coaching duties, Melgarejo joined Universitario in Peru in 2021, as an assistant of Ángel Comizzo.[8] He followed Comizzo to Atlético Grau in 2023, again as his assistant.[9]
