In 1998, Repetto fractured his tibia and fibula, which kept him sidelined for one and a half year. In 2000, after six unsuccessful months at Villa Teresa, he retired.
Managerial career
After retiring, Repetto acquired a coaching license and returned to his first club Fénix as manager of the youth setup in 2002. In July 2006, he took over the first team in Segunda División, and achieved promotion at the end of the season.
Ahead of the 2008–09 season, Repetto was named in charge of Cerro also in Primera División. The following 20 February, he was appointed at Bolivian side Blooming, but left the club in June.
On 16 December 2009, Repetto returned to Cerro, and led the side in the 2010 Copa Libertadores. He left the following May, and was appointed at the helm of fellow league team Defensor Sporting shortly after.

On 24 September 2012, after nearly a year without a club, Repetto took over Ecuadorian Serie A side Independiente del Valle. He led the side to the 2016 Copa Libertadores Finals before being presented as manager of Emirati side Baniyas on 31 July of that year.
