Carvallo's first coaching experience was in 1990 [2] when he coached the first team of Universidad Católica for a short time.

In 2007, he replaced José del Solar in the UC, but after an irregular campaign with the team, he quit and was replaced by Mario Lepe.[3] From 2011 to 2012, he was the manager of Chile at under-20 level.[6]

After two experiences as Sports Director for both Colo-Colo (2015–16)[7] and Magallanes (2019),[8] he retired from football and spends time playing paddle tennis.[7]
