Coaching career

His first coaching tenure was with Árabe Marte and Sonsonate in the Second Division, after a successful spell he became coach of his former club Alianza and helped them win the 1998 Apertura title.

After leaving Alianza, he spent time coaching clubs in the Second Division almost promoting three clubs Municipal Limeño, Jocoro F.C. and Mar y Plata FC to the First Division.

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.

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.

After the club folded due to financial difficulty, he signed to coach Alba Acajutla, a club based in Sonsonate, and the club his son plays for.

After a string of defeats he was sacked from the club, however he was signed to coach Águila for the rest of the 2010 Clausura season, but after taking them to the grand final, Águila were defeated by Isidro Metapán and his contract was not extended.

He was presented as the new coach for UES for the 2010 Apertura season.
