After a spell assisting manager and former team-mate Alan Pardew on a part-time basis, he was appointed first-team coach of Crystal Palace in August 2015 but left when Sam Allardyce was appointed in December 2016.

Since March 2017 Salako has been working as marketing director for SME Business Finance which is a one-stop shop for business finance requirements. He also works as a business development manager for the W12 Group as well as LovIT Technologies.
