In 1997, he would reach the finals with Toros Neza but end up losing the finals. While still at the books of Toros Neza, Nildeson was jailed and prosecuted by his former girlfriend over not paying up alimony.[1]

Back in El Salvador

He was later cut by Armando Contreras who had taken the position after Juan Ramón Paredes stepped down of the national team. He would later play for Chalatenango,[2] FAS and Águila but the latter clubs dismissed him because of indiscipline and apparent drugs abuse.[3] Then, he was give a chance by Atlético Balboa where he would eventually retire in 2005 after reaching the final of the 2004 Apertura.[4] After a knee operation in January 2005 he was dismissed by Balboa citing he would not recover to get back to his former best.[5]
