After his active career ended in minor league baseball in 1978, Mitterwald became the bullpen coach of the Oakland Athletics in 1979 under Marshall, then was retained when Martin replaced Marshall as Oakland's manager. He continued to serve in that post under Martin for the 1980–82 seasons, then was again hired by Martin to serve as the New York Yankees' bullpen coach in 1988, Martin's fifth and last term as the Yankees' manager.
