After a second spell at Hércules,^[8] he was named Racing de Santander's manager in late June 2009.^[9] After a poor start to the season, with only one point in the first five home matches, he was sacked by the Cantabrians on 9 November.^[10]

In December 2013, Mandiá was appointed at second-division club Deportivo Alavés,^[14] but was relieved of his duties after only three months in charge.^[15] On 10 February 2015 he was hired at CE Sabadell FC for the rest of the season,^[16] and left on 10 June once the Catalans were relegated to the third tier.^[17]

Subsequently, Mandiá worked as assistant manager to Míchel at Ligue 1 side Olympique de Marseille, Málaga CF,^[18] Liga MX's Club Universidad Nacional^[19] and Getafe CF.^[20]
