In 2014 he got his first senior management job, as manager of Brønshøj Boldklub in the Danish 1st Division.{{cite web|title=Carit Falch ny cheftræner i Brønshøj|language=Danish|date=2014-05-23|accessdate=2021-06-07|publisher=bold.dk|url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/Carit-Falch-ny-cheftraener-i-Broenshoej/}} He took the club to the Quarter Finals of the Danish Cup and broke 2 club records with 10 consecutive games without defeat, and 8 consecutive games with a clean sheet. He left the club after disagreements over strategy when the team was in a position to survive in the League. The club was relegated at the end of the season.{{cite web|title=Brønshøj skilles med cheftræneren|language=Danish|date=2015-04-08|accessdate=2021-06-07|publisher=bold.dk|url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/broenshoej-skilles-med-cheftraeneren/}}

Falch won the Baltic Championship with the Lithuanian U21 national team for the first time in 8 years and the team finished 2nd from the bottom in the European Championship Qualification group, with an away victory in the last game against Finland.
In November 2018 Falch moved to Cyprus to become new manager of Enosis Neon Paralimni FC in the Cypriot First Division.{{cite web|title=Carit Falch bliver træner for Duncan på Cypern|language=Danish|date=2018-11-29|accessdate=2021-06-07|publisher=bold.dk|url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/carit-falch-bliver-traener-for-duncan-paa-cypern/}} He led the club to the semifinals of the 2018–19 Cypriot Cup.{{cite web|title=AGONA Interview: Carit Falch, the promising coach in Paralimni|language=English|date=2019-03-01|accessdate=2021-06-07|publisher=Agona Sport|url=https://www.agonasport.com/agonasport-allnews/agona-interview-carit-falch-the-promising-coach-in-paralimni}} This was the best cup result for the club in 17 years. Falch resigned in April 2019. The club survived, but got relegated next season.{{cite web|title=Doxa fight to survive, Alki relegated after thriller in Paralimni|language=English|date=2019-05-19|accessdate=2021-06-07|publisher=Agona Sport|url=https://www.agonasport.com/agonasport-allnews/doxa-fight-to-survive-alki-relegated-after-thriller-in-paralimni}}
Falch then returned to FC Nordsjælland to become 1st team assistant coach and head analyzer, and at the same time helping the youth department of FC Nordsjælland.{{cite web|title=Carit Falch kommer hjem|language=Danish|date=2019-06-29|accessdate=2021-06-07|publisher=FC Nordsjælland|url=https://fcn.dk/2019/06/carit-falch-kommer-hjem/}} In June 2020 he became temporary manager of the U19 team in Lyngby BK before being appointed manager of the 1st team in the Danish Superliga Lyngby Boldklub.{{cite web|title=Lyngby fyrer cheftræneren - Falch afløser|language=Danish|date=2020-12-21|accessdate=2021-06-07|publisher=bold.dk|url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/lyngby-fyrer-cheftraeneren--falch-afloeser/}}
Falch took over a team at the very bottom of the League with only 1 point in the first part of the season, and he won 22 points in the 2nd part of the season, playing attractive attacking football and using many young players. But it was not enough to save Lyngby from relegation despite a run of good results. After the season, Superliga club Vejle BK paid a transfer to sign Falch as new manager of Vejle Boldklub.{{cite web|title=Officielt: Vejle køber Falch fri i Lyngby|language=Danish|date=2021-06-08|accessdate=2021-06-27|publisher=bold.dk|url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/officielt-vejle-koeber-falch-fri-i-lyngby/}} Vejle BK and Falch was to build a new Vejle team in the next 2-3 years with a new attractive playing style but after disagreements concerning transfer strategies and a difficult start to the 2021–22 season with four loses and a draw in the first five games during the transfer window, Vejle already fired Falch on 17 August 2021. Vejle BK hired 2 different coaches during the season but ended up being relegated. {{cite web|title=Bundproppen Vejle fyrer træneren efter bare fem kampe|language=Danish|date=2021-08-17|accessdate=2021-08-17|publisher=Politiken|url=https://politiken.dk/sport/art8326373/Bundproppen-Vejle-fyrer-tr%C3%A6neren-efter-bare-fem-kampe}}
