Belize

Sacked as head coach of the Belize national team in 2008 which was seen as an unjust decision by the Football Federation of Belize to some, after he led them to a 3–1 win over St Kitts and Nevis,[6] Salas became involved in a conflict with the FFB, making an incendiary statement that they were supposed to pay him 26000 Belize dollars when they only give him 5000.[7]

The Guatemalan returned to Belizean football in 2009 when announced as coach of Belize Defence Force.[8]

In June 2018, he was reappointed as coach for the Belizean national team.[2]

Personal life

He was assaulted by two thieves on the 21st of August 2008.[9]
