 He eventually became coach of the newly formed San Salvador, this would be their greatest coaching achievement to date, since it helped the club not only win the club's only title in its history, it also saved them from relegation three times.After being released from his contract from San Salvador, he first took the reins of First Division side Isidro Metapán and Independiente Nacional 1906, then he managed Second Division sides Fuerte Aguilares and Once Lobos, but he only managed moderate success with these sides.He rejoined the San Salvador to try to save them from relegation once again, despite saving them from direct relegation, he couldn't save them from a relegation play-off lost to Juventud Independiente.
