Managerial career

At the end of the 1990s, Abadía managed the "B" team of América de Cali in Categoría Primera C organized by Difutbol. There, he was in charge of several players who turned professional such as Sandro Zuluaga, Alex del Castillo and Róbinson Zapata.[2]

In 2004, Abadía was appointed by the Panamanian football club Tauro F.C.[3] By 2005, the team was within 3 points of playing in the finals.[4] In 2006, he managed the now defunct Centauros Villavicencio in Categoría Primera B.[5][6] In 2008, he managed Patriotas Boyacá who were 6 points away from playing in the Primera B final.[7]

Since 2014, Abadía has been part of the Colombian women's team, first as Fabián Taborda's technical assistant and then promoted to manager.[8][9]
