[edit] Coaching career

After retiring as a player Gómez became Griguol's assistant, working alongside him at Ferro and at Gimnasia de La Plata.

Gómez then had a spell as Héctor Cúper's assistant at Club Atlético Lanús, when Cúper left to join Mallorca in Spain, Gómez took over as the manager.

In 1999 Gómez took over as manager of Mallorca, but he was not allowed to continue in the job because the regulations required 2 full years of managerial experience, he was only in charge for 5 games (2 draws, 3 defeats).

Gómez then resumed his position as Cúper's assistant at Valencia and then Inter Milan.

In 2004 Gómez returned to Argentina to take over as manager of Gimnasia de La Plata where he famously said "fútbol argentino lo gobiernan los hinchas" (football in Argentina is governed by the fans)

In December 2004 he took over at Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy, guiding them to the 2nd division championship in Clausura 2005 and promotion to the Primera División. The next season he helped Gimnasia maintain their place in the Primera with a 4th place finish in the Clausura 2006.

In 2006 Gómez joined struggling Quilmes but could not turn the clubs fortunes around, failing to win any of his six games in charge. Gómez then returned to Gimnasia de Jujuy.

In June 2009 Roberto Carlos Mario Gómez agreed to sign a contract as a manager with Greek team Asteras Tripolis. A new team with high ambitions and many argentinian players.
