Career Borrello began coaching university teams between 1994 and 1995, before managing San Martín de Burzaco from 1996 to 1997.

Three years later, he led the team to their first major title, winning the 2006 South American Women's Football Championship as hosts. The success meant Argentina qualified for the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, as well as the 2008 Summer Olympics, the first Olympic appearance for the women's team.

Argentina won 5–1 on aggregate to qualify for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France after a twelve-year absence.

Controversy After the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, Borrello's coaching abilities were publicly criticized by Argentine international players Estefanía Banini, Florencia Bonsegundo, Ruth Bravo and Belén Potassa, who consequently made the decision to retire from international football as long as he did not resign from his position as coach.
