In 2004, Escribá started an association withQuique Sánchez Flores that would last several seasons, always as assistant. He started withGetafe, subsequently moving toBenfica andAtlético Madrid; the pair went their separate ways at the end of2010–11, because the former wanted to have a go at head coaching.[3]

On 25 September 2017, in spite of many injuries to the squad,[11] and following a 4–0 away loss against former club Getafe, Escribá was fired.[12] He returned to work on 3 March 2019, becomingCelta de Vigo's third coach ofthe campaign afterMiguel Cardoso's dismissal.[13]
Escribá was relieved of his duties on 3 November 2019, with the team sitting in the relegation zone.[14] He returned to Elche in February 2021,[15] avoiding relegation in thelast matchday at the expense ofHuesca after a 2–0 home win overAthletic Bilbao.[16]
