Playing career
Born in Montevideo, Salazar was a River Plate Montevideo youth graduate before making his first team debut in 1996. In 1999, he moved abroad and joined Ecuadorian side Aucas, before returning to his former club in 2000.
In 2002, after another one-year spell at Aucas,[1] Salazar signed for Racing Montevideo. He returned to Ecuador in 2004 with LDU Portoviejo, before joining Paraguayan side 3 de Febrero in July 2005.[2]
Salazar returned to LDU Portoviejo in 2006, before returning to his home country in the following year with Central Español. He retired with the latter in 2010, aged 36.
Managerial career
After retiring, Salazar started working in the youth sides of Danubio before joining Peñarol on 26 December 2018, as manager of their reserve side.[3] Ahead of the 2022 season, he became Mauricio Larriera's assistant in the first team.[4]
