editAtlético Bucaramanga
editHaving formerly been in charge of the U17 and U20 squads of Atlético Bucaramanga, Novoa was appointed manager of the club's first team on 10 September 2019 after Hernán Torres was fired.[1] He was replaced by José 'Willy' Manuel Rodríguez in early November 2019 and then became a part of the new manager's technical staff.[2] Willy was fired in mid-February and Novoa took charge of the team again, this time as a caretaker manager.[3] Two days later, Guillermo Sanguinetti was hired.
On 15 February 2021, Novoa was named caretaker manager for the third time, until the new coach was hired on 23 February.[4]
