Managerial career
Bernales became a coach in the late 1980s, influenced by Roberto Scarone who managed both Juan Aurich and Deportivo Municipal.[2] He had his first experience on the bench as an interim manager in 1987 at Deportivo Municipal.[2] He won his first title with Unión Huaral in 1992 when he won the 2nd division championship.[3] The following year, he won the 1993 Torneo Intermedio with Deportivo Municipal.[4] He managed in the Peruvian first division until 1998 when he took charge of Deportivo Municipal for 4 matchdays (replaced by Ramón Quiroga).[2]
Bernales specialized in managing second division and Copa Perú clubs. For example, he managed Juan Aurich in 2003 and again Municipal in 2009, but could not prevent the latter's relegation from the second division to the Copa Perú.[2]
