He managed the under-17 side of Racing Montevideo before returning to the LUD, and led another three teams in the competition before being named manager of Segunda División side Albion for the 2019 season.[2]
After leaving Albion in December 2019, Nieves worked as an under-17 manager at Montevideo Wanderers and under-19 manager at Montevideo City Torque before moving to Defensor Sporting in December 2023, as an assistant of Martín Varini.[3] In September 2024, he took over Cooper in the second division.
