After moving out of the court, Salazar entered the sidelines as assistant coach of Toyota, and won the 1982 Reinforced Filipino Conference finals. He later quit to focus on a small business.^[1]

But in 1985, after Jaworski' appointment as coach of La Tondeña's Ginebra San Miguel, Jaworski was offered him to be an assistant coach. They won two championships.^[1]^[3]

In 1992, Shell franchise hired him as their head coach. The team won a championship in 1992 First Conference.^[4]
