Aravena coached the Chilean national team during the 1987 Copa América, where the team reached the tournament final. He ended his international career as team manager during Chile's qualification attempt for the 1990 FIFA World Cup.

Aravena received a 5-year ban from FIFA for his part in a plan to have a World Cup qualifying game awarded to Chile. He had ordered goalie Roberto Rojas to feign injury after Rojas was almost hit by an incendiary device thrown onto the pitch at Estádio do Maracanã.[1]
