National Professional Soccer League
for one season.

Career

Salguero began his professional career with

Toronto Italia.[3] In an exhibition game against Glasgow Celtic of Scotland, he was the dominant force in the Toronto Italia victory.[4] After the game, the President of Toronto Italia Rocco LoFranco stated that he had never seen an attacker create such havoc in a defense. This game will go down in the annals of Toronto Italia history as one of the best games that Salguero had ever played. That summer Salguero played for the Buffalo Storm in the United Soccer League.[5]

In 1983, he played in the

American Indoor Soccer Association.[8] In the summer of 1987 he returned to play with Toronto Italia where he assisted in securing the Ontario-Quebec title by recording a goal against St-Leonard Corfinium.[9] He also played in the 1988 NSL season with Toronto Italia.[10]

After only one season in Toledo, he moved to the

Indiana Kick for the 1988–1989 season. In the fall of 1989, he signed with the Memphis Rogues.[12] The Rogues folded at the end of the season and Salguero moved to the New York Kick. In the fall of 1992, Salguero played one game for the Buffalo Blizzard in the NPSL.[13]

Managerial career

On December 31, 1990, the Kick named Salguero as the interim head coach.[14] He went 1–4 as a coach, and with the team at the bottom of the standings, he was both fired as coach and waived as a player.[15] In 1990, he returned to National Soccer League to former club Toronto Italia where he served as a player-coach.[16][17]

In February 1997, the Blizzard brought Salguero into its coaching staff. On June 13, 1997, the Blizzard elevated him to head coach.[18] He took the team into the playoffs, but was fired in July 1998.[19]
