By January 2009 when his contract expired Quinteros decided to move on, and took over La Paz club Bolívar, where he won the Aerosur Cup and the Apertura title. Due to some disparities with the president, Quinteros left the club at the end of the year. By January 2010 he was in charge of Oriente Petrolero. During his stint at Oriente his success continued taking the team to an Aerosur Cup and the Clausura 2010 title.

On 5 November 2010, Quinteros was named the new manager of the Bolivia national team. On 3 July 2012, he presented his letter of resignation and called a press conference to announce his imminent departure from the national team.[4][5]

On 9 July 2012, Quinteros was formally introduced as the new manager for Ecuadorian club Emelec.[6] After a stint in the Middle East, and a lacklustre season in Tijuana, he became manager of Colo Colo.
