Teufel returned to the Mets as a roving instructor for 2001 and 2002.
He was named the manager of the Mets' Rookie-level minor league Brooklyn Cyclones for 2003 and was promoted to the Single-A St. Lucie Mets for 2004 and 2005.

After the two seasons near .500, the Mets announced Teufel was being replaced by new Baseball Hall of Fame member, Gary Carter, for 2006.
Teufel decided to take a break from baseball for the year.

He was named manager of the Savannah Sand Gnats on January 11, 2007, and was a Mets' representative at the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft.
He returned as St. Lucie's manager in 2008 and 2009.
 In 2010, in his first season managing the Double-A Binghamton Mets, he led the team to a 66-76 record and a fifth-place finish in the Eastern League.

Teufel returned to the New York Mets organization as the new third base coach in 2011, replacing former coach Chip Hale.
 He was a vital part of their 2015 World Series team as well as their 2016 Playoff team.

After the 2016 season, on November 15, 2016, it was announced that Teufel would be replaced by longtime D-backs coach Glenn Sherlock as the new Mets third base coach.
Many fans and baseball analysts questioned his replacement, as he was part of the Mets' two most successful teams in recent years, especially considering the 2016 season was full of team injuries.
On Friday, November 25, it was announced that he would be the minor league instructor and club ambassador.
