In 2004 Ischia was appointed as manager of Gimnasia de La Plata. In 2005 he took over at Junior in Colombia, but left later that year due to differences with the directors and constant media pressure.[3] In 2007 he was appointed the new manager of struggling Rosario Central,[4] but after 14 games of the Apertura 2007 Ischia resigned with the club bottom of the table and perilously close to the automatic relegation places.[5]

On December 23, 2008 his team managed to avoid a two goal defeat against Club Atlético Tigre to win the Apertura 2008 championship.

He replaced Ricardo Lavolpe to become the head coach of Atlas F.C. In mid 2011, Ischia became the new manager of Deportivo Quito, making his debut in Ecuadorian football.[7]
